Ricola Herb Centre, Switzerland
The largest earth structure in Europe from pre-produced rammed-earth facade elements. Together with the architects Herzog & de Meuron, Ricola has built a new herb centre in Laufen for the central processing of the herbs. The facade of the building is made of rammed earth, which was manufactured using loam and earth from the Laufen valley.
