Rammed earth structures are built around the ruin, as if growing from the ground engaged in a conversation, transforming the house into a public courtyard.

View of the Most Mira Peace Centre from the playing field across the road. The playing field and site hold scars and memories of trauma from the 90’s war. Most Mira’s first arts festivals brought over a thousand young people and residents from divided communities to this site.

The Rammed Earth Technology combines the common modern process of forming walls using formwork with the traditional earth building material, to revitalize similar forgotten traditional ways of building and to transform them into something current and relevant in the contemporary context.
