Description

This lecture explores the architectural journey of Earthworld over the past 25 years. Beginning in the early 2000s with modest brick constructions, the practice has continually evolved in both materiality and methodology. The timeline of their work reflects progression from: 

• Brick structures in the early years, 

• To concrete and steel buildings, 

• To hybrid constructions combining brick, concrete, and steel, 

• And most recently, to timber-based architecture. 

Over the last decade, Earthworld has focused on the design and construction of modular buildings, embracing advanced technologies such as precast concrete and CNC-cut plywood. These innovations enable components to be fabricated off-site and rapidly assembled on location, reflecting a shift toward efficiency, sustainability, and precision in contemporary architecture.
