摘要：Rammed earth is a thousand-year old technique for building walls, and consists of compacting damp earth inside a wooden mould known as a formwork.This method was widely used across the Iberian Peninsula for centuries, in both monumental and vernacular architecture, until it began to decline at the beginning of the last century, and practically disappeared just a few decades later.In Europe, the energy crisis of the late 1970s led to increasing awareness of the scarcity and foreseeable exhaustion of the planet’s energy resources.Many architects and other agents involved in the construction sector and research advocated reclaiming traditional building materials and techniques, in an attempt to find an acceptable balance between the functional and aesthetic demands of current construction and the parameters of bioclimatic architecture.In Spain, although later than in other areas, this movement has also gained force and in the last 20 years, dwellings and all types of buildings constructed with earth have proliferated.The traditional wooden formwork and manual compacting currently exist alongside formworks produced by the concrete industry, although the technique is gradually being modernised.This paper draws attention to the significant diversity among the typologies of rammed earth buildings constructed in Spain in recent years.We believe this diversity provides evidence that this thousand-year old construction technique has returned from unjustifiable neglect to reassert itself, and now has a promising future.
