i really admire the design for these stairs and how they incorporate a wheelchair access ramp. in a world were barrier free design is essential to living a full and happy life, its amazing to see landscape architect Cornelia Oberlander has taken literal steps to design stairs AROUND a ramp, instead of the other way around.

15.10.23 Araby studio 처음 둘러본 연희동에서 너무 멋진 곳을 발견했다. 식물 하나씩 탐색하는 재미, 식물의 분위기를 죽이지 않는 사진들과 금속작품들. 사진을 찍으면서도 계속 감탄했다.

BUILDING A COB OVEN

By Maedi on Sourdough Companion

Cob Ovens are a relatively inexpensive way to bake, with all the benefits of wood-fire, such as a hot hearth. Materials are raw, and often sourced locally from the land.

This oven is a design from Build your own Earth Oven by Kiko Denzer. 

The base of the oven is a circular dry stone wall. As the wall is built, the cavity is filled with smaller stones and gravel. Rocks were sourced from gullies around the site.

Sand fills the final layer of the base. The surface is leveled out and fire bricks are placed to make the hearth.

A dome of wet sand is molded above the hearth. This dome will form the cavity of the oven.

Wet newspaper covers the dome to prevent the next layer, clay, from binding with the sand. Clay is now layered over the newspaper.

The clay dome is made up of two layers: the inner layer is pure clay, while the outer layer is made up of clay and straw (cob) for added strength.

Hatchings are made on the inner layer to help bind both layers together.

When the clay is hard enough, the supporting sand dome is then shoveled out.

You’re now ready to bake!
