Barrel Vault Tire Classrooms

Tires are filled with the earth taken out during the excavation stage, and non-biodegradable waste. Additionally, horizontal rebars are laid between two courses about halfway up the wall in order to stiffen it against lateral forces during the construction stage.

The roof of each individual room consists of a reinforced concrete vault tied into the bond beam. Glass bottles cut in half are tied into the reinforcement and act as skylights.
