The Art of Construction

A house is only as strong as its foundations.

Our ancestors were builders. All around our island they left stone towers, many of them of considerable size. We do not know their age, but do know that they were constructed long ago, perhaps at the dawn of time even? We call these towers 'nuraghi'. They consist of three components: an outer layer in the shape of a tower; an inner layer made of smaller stones; an intermediate layer of very small pieces and earth to bind them together. Some nuraghi feature internal, spiral stone steps leading to upper floors or to a terrace, and illuminated by embrasures. Studying these towers has enabled us to learn much about construction techniques and apply that knowledge to our own buildings.
