Reviving local building techniques-rammed earth in Leh, India

In the continuing phases of SEEDS Leh flash flood reconstruction response, a community centre is being constructed in Igoo. This revives the local building technique of rammed earth on which centuries old Monasteries were built. The building reflects the traditional wisdom that has faded away through the years.
