Episode 2: Earthen Architecture with Marlene
Did you know that half of the world's population still lives in houses made of earthen architecture? The earliest form of human settlements were all made with the earth. Earthen materials adapt to their environment and respond to our body because after all, we are also made of earth. Can this be the solution to our looming climate crisis and sustainable development goals?
Listen to my heartfelt conversation with Marlene, an earthen architect from Portugal, as we learn about this precious form of architecture and how we can bring it back!
