Natural materials, and especially earth, help people to reconnect to each other, to nature and to themselves.
Transferring knowledge, and being together in a process of becoming, is a wonderful way to promote natural building materials in an educational and playful way.
Since 2014, we love to organise participatory building sites, creative workshops, training and awareness sessions in cooperation with universities, associations or private owners. We work with students, professionals, open public and people in difficulties.

"We were thirty-three and spoke six languages. We shared our cultures and skills as ceramists, architects, engineers, chefs, photographers, painters, musicians and nurses, in order to transform the earth, the straw, the sand, the water and the cane, into building materials. Gestures did not get old, but minds had forgotten. Fortunately, hands have good memories and learn fast. In ten days, the main room saw the colourful chimney, floor and walls rise again. It is not like before; it is something between past and future. Pappou’s house is not a specimen, it is a manifest, a transmission."
