A House in Luanda, Pedro Sousa / Modern use of in situ construction with rammed earch bricks and panels

"We want the wealth and diversity of our proposal to rest on the wealth of the tipology, space and light, more than on wealth or diversity of materials. For this reason we have chosen one single material for the construction of the house: rammed earth. This is a low-cost, easy to build material, that when associated to architectural decisions that guarantee good transversal ventilation systems and a good solar protection, may have a high thermal capacity."
