After reading the "Earth Oven" article, I was inspired to do more research on various cob techniques. I found myself drawn to the design choices various artists made, a few examples found below. When we are planning to design our own oven for the garden, I think we should be thinking about the aesthetic qualities for the outside of the oven in addition to the traditional structure.

I was thinking the same thing! Even if we just add small designs like Professor Tamir had experimented with on the two we tried last week, I think this is a great addition. I really like the first two images and think that could be a really fun idea, although probably even more challenging to create.
ReplyDeleteI feel like in considering design we could certainly incorporate the spirit of principles from permaculture, though the oven is not directly related to natural growth efforts. I'd definitely be interested in creating a design that reflects the history and unique natural features of the surrounding area.
