Plot

Is there any more beautiful earth architecture in the world than that of Morocco? While the discovery of the pueblos of the Anasazi and Hopi Indians of New Mexico and Arizona helped us discover these buildings made only of earth, it was the ksours and kasbas of the Draa and Dades valleys that showed that a renaissance of earth buildings was occurring. These buildings are used for homes, and many historical buildings have also been conserved and restored. The pioneering activities of Morocco in the late 20th century, as a leader in the renewal of earth architecture, invites us to follow in this beneficial direction.
