Light Earth Designs：“可持續的貝殼”——在發展中國家使用土壤穩定瓷磚的Timbrel拱頂最近獲得了2010年地球獎建築環境類的獎項，以表彰這一激動人心的創新對發展中國家人民生活的潛在積極影響。該技術將進口材料的成本和高耗能降至最低，並可使當地的非熟練工人通過生產瓷磚和建造拱頂的方式來增強他們的能力。

Light Earth Designs：'Sustainable Shells' – Timbrel vaulting using soil stabilised tiles in a developing world context was recently been awarded winner of the Built environment category at the 2010 Earth Awards in recognition of the potential future positive impact of this exciting innovation on people's lives in the developing world . The technology minimises the cost and high embodied energy of imported materials and can empower local unskilled labourers by engaging them in both the production of the tiles and the construction of the vaults.

作為地球獎和“Start Festival——一個有所作為的花園派對”(由威爾士親王贊助)的一部分，這項活動在倫敦市中心聖詹姆士宮旁邊的蘭卡斯特大廈的地面上建造了一個拱形的土瓦館。

As part of the Earth Awards and the 'Start Festival – A Garden Party to Make a Difference ' (sponsored by the Prince of Wales), the practice constructed a small vaulted Earth tiled pavilion in the grounds of Lancaster House, next door to St James Palace in central London.

展館由三個不同高度的簡單重疊懸鏈線拱頂組成，每個拱頂在平面和剖面上都是優雅的喇叭形。這些拱頂只用了14天就建成了，使用的是倫敦一個建築工地的廢土製成的手工壓製瓷磚。其他材料來源於對環境影響最小的材料，減少了浪費。用來製作瓷磚的膠合板被鋪設成展館的地板，並被堆疊成展台。一個板條木網，設計用來過濾低角度的晨光，是由綠色的甜栗樹小枝扦插而成。

The pavilion consisted of three simple overlapping catenary vaults of varying heights, each stiffened in plan and section with an elegant flare. The vaults were built in only 14 days, using hand pressed tiles made out of waste soil from a London building site. Other materials were sourced to have minimal environmental impact, and to reduce waste. The plywood blanks used to form the tiles were laid to form the pavilion flooring and stacked to create exhibition stands. A slatted timber screen, designed to filter the low angle morning light was constructed from green sweet chestnut coppice cuttings.

參觀者可以通過手壓機、土壤和由此產生的地磚的展覽了解這項技術。膠合板展台展示了入口的建造過程，展示了使用出口技術的建築或未來項目的例子。遊客走過一個寧靜的空間，穿過一個低矮的拱頂，在那裡他們可以觸摸並感受到土壤的質量。

Visitors are introduced to the technology through an exhibit of the hand press, the soil and the resulting earth tiles. The plywood exhibition stands illustrate the build process on entrance and show examples of buildings or future projects using the technology on exit. Visitors walk through a serene space exiting though a low vault where they can touch and feel the quality of the soil finish.
