Additional Information:
Domes being a familiar shape for housing and construction in this region of Iran, this project was made to bridge the socio economic gap of the communities and to generate social change. Using rammed earth and adobe construction techniques was an efficient system of building in this region. The colours are the main standout as most earth based structures end up merging with the landscape. This one merges in terms of shape and form but the vivid and bold use of colours, aid in refreshing and making the landscape pop
