Earthen Architecture Course

In an effort to curb the destruction and disappearance of earthen structures worldwide, including in the Middle East and North Africa, an Earthen Architecture Course was conducted at the end of 2018 by the Getty Conservation Institute in collaboration with the Department of Culture and Tourism of Abu Dhabi. The twenty participants from North Africa, Levant, Gulf countries and southwest Asia learned practical methods for the preservation of earthen buildings and archaeological sites.
