Dufferin Grove Park Earthen Wall

This earthen structure was built during the summer of 2005 in Dufferin Grove Park, located in downtown Toronto, Canada. Almost five hundred men, women and children used their hands and feet to build the structure. The structure was built of 'cob' which is a mixture of clay, sand, straw and water. Most of the building materials used in the project were diverted from the municipal waste stream. More information can be found at www.cobinthepark.ca
