A
compact workshop encompassing a 200-square-foot interior space features
double-wythe compressed earth block walls, compound arches, and a
shallow dome brick 'boveda' with a central skylight. The incorporation
of glass block elements and embedded glass bottles within the walls
impart a decorative quality reminiscent of jewels arranged in the form
of a sine wave.
James Anthony (@bovedas_anthony) led the dome
workshop. The domed 'boveda' was built using only a guide on a swivel
without the need for formwork!
