- Summary:
- The latin phrase Terra firma means "solid earth". From the beginning of time, man has utilized the Terra firma beneath his feet for a myriad of reasons but the most striking option has been to create homes out of the solid earth.Modern flats and apartments might be filling our streets but for centuries, people have been using the earth's natural resources to create these homes. In the city of Ouarzazate, the traditional art of building homes using earth and clay bricks is still in full flow.
