title: 'Compressed earth brick press'
description: "This project is an exploration of compressed earth bricks. Mostly because they're awesome. CCAT, the campus center for appropriate technology, has recently relocated and their new grounds have many uncontrolled hillsides. With general erosion problems and hazards posed by downhill water flow over clay, the need for retaining walls is immediate."
