Proposal

The Second year studio of the Interior Architecture department of UNC- Greensboro is conducting a permanent installation here on campus. We intend on constructing a rammed earth wall of earth, concrete, sand, and stone. Our projected completion date is October 1, 2010 and we plan to hold an opening event to showcase our hard work and efforts. The project is being developed by a group of young designers all dedicated to showing off our passion for design. It will be a tough endeavor with labor-intensive work. 

Since the start of the semester, we have collaborated with our classmates and peers on designing a "wall" and stretching the boundaries of what a wall really is. We are more than excited to make this a reality and leave a permanent legacy on the UNCG campus. Our project will consist of building a large frame to pour our earth mixture into. Then we will use steel plated tamping tool to pack the earth layer by layer. Although it may sound simple it requires a lot of hard work and dedication. We invite you to be apart of our process while we begin to leave a piece of ourselves behind on campus.
