Article by Lola Ben-Alon, Assistant Professor at Columbia GSAPP, where she directs the Natural Materials Lab and the Building Tech curriculum. The use of earth-based materials (namely, mud or dirt architecture) appears in two practices throughout history: in the construction of buildings and – less commonly known or conclusively understood – in certain dietary consumption patterns. To put it simply, soil, the most important nutrient collector on earth, can be used for both building and for eating.
