The project is investigating how to modernize earth building and how to make soil an attractive building material that meets the requirements of the present. By setting up an earth factory and exhibition space next to Kalvebod Miljøcenter, the surplus excavation soil from the Copenhagen area is turned into a resource and is used in the production of prefabricated rammed earth elements.
