The earthen labyrinth - highlights of earthbuilding in Berlin

The years from 2004 to 2007 have been years of constructing our "labyrinth" - the main topic on our agenda in the clay village. Have a look for it:
We set up some nice walls made from adobe bricks and concentrated on woodcarving, to have poles and totems inside and specially at the end of each wall segment. For our small visitors we offered a chance to take part in shaping tiny sculptures...

2006 - and status quo ...

The inner part of the 'Lab'. We designed the front entrance, looking like a Chinese - Native American tribes mix of Styles. Now the clayvillage has got a small eARTh-Shop. Real nice details: Wooden totem poles at the entrance gate - and a big stone, with a relief of a carved in planet labyrinth.

Also visible in the widescreen and above: In the center we built the 'Travillion', a 3-door tower with a two level roofing. Inside we got nicely tuned bells, moved by the wind. The whole range of running walls with beautifully decorated cassettes (filled with claybricks) is about 45 meters.


Still ready from 2004 - the 'Queen of the garden'-Totem and some more tiny sculptures.
Sculptures at the edges of the walls, showing up - a circle of happiness allegoric for a peaceful world community.
