Lazzarini Architekten - Colored bands of soil at the rammed-earth residential development in Sameden, 2007. The small cluster of apartments are staggered along the steep sloping site, separated by small passageways that reference the thin alleyways of the nearby historic center. The waving layers of rammed-earth imply a geological history; giving the building the appearance of an archeological relic dug from the earth, rather then a new building placed on it. (Image via.
