Abstract

The impact of architecture on the environment has turned out to be an important issue for which much research has already been conducted. Although the earth (soil) constitutes a major part of the environment, its use in creating sustainable architecture has not yet been precisely studied. The article focuses on earth (soil), as one of the oldest ecological building materials, and presents new ideas and technologies regarding its use. As a result, the use of earth in creating sustainable architecture will be discussed.
