Exploring Earth-Based Architecture with Anna Heringer

In this episode of SPACES, I’m joined by architect Anna Heringer who shares her unique approach to sustainable design, focusing on the use of local materials like mud and earth to create buildings that are both environmentally conscious and deeply rooted in the cultures where they are built. Anna, known for her award-winning METI School in Bangladesh, discusses her journey from learning about sustainable development at the age of 19 to founding her own studio, where she embraces intuition and hands-on methods like "Clay Storming" to design functional, beautiful spaces. From Ghana to Germany, Anna highlights the potential of earth-based architecture to challenge conventional building practices and foster community resilience. Anna also highlights the need for a shift from fear-based decision-making to love-based approaches in design, advocating for a new mantra: 'form follows love.'As heard in the podcast:Get your copy of Form Follows LoveFind out more about Anna at anna-heringer.comIf you enjoy our content, you can check out similar content from our fellow creators at Gābl Media.
