What we do

The Association, in collaboration with local authorities, universities, schools, associations, businesses, and professionals, works to promote raw earth architecture and, more broadly, sustainability.

The Association operates nationwide through its operational offices in Samassi, Serrenti, Casalincontrada, and Macerata.


Through memoranda of understanding with public administrations and in partnership with foreign organizations, it also operates internationally, participating in European calls for proposals.


The Association carries out outreach activities on the promotion of raw earth architecture and, more generally, on sustainability themes through the organization of conferences, seminars, workshops, educational laboratories, and the production of publications and video content.


It supports member municipalities in territorial planning and within projects aimed at sustainable development.

It promotes historical-architectural raw earth heritage through the design and promotion of cultural tourism itineraries.
