在撒哈拉沙漠的苛刻条件下，弗洛哈拉利用周围的环境建造了一片适宜居住的绿洲。由于阴影是生命的概念，这种结构由口袋里的细胞组成，形成了一堵墙，投下了一个巨大的阴影，在这个阴影下，植被可以茁壮成长。在它的口袋里，游牧民族可以在沙漠太阳的酷热下找到栖身之所，这使这堵墙在一片原本闷热的景色中变成了一个“适合居住的影子”。

In the demanding conditions of the Sahara desert, Flohara uses its surroundings to build a habitable oasis. Stemming from the notion of shadow as life, the structure is composed of pocketed cells that form a wall, casting a vast shadow under which vegetation can thrive. Within its pockets, nomadic peoples can find shelter from the overwhelming heat of the desert sun, making the wall an “inhabitable shadow” in an otherwise sweltering landscape.

为了建造这堵墙，严酷的气候被用来作为进步的工具。可充气的纺织品气泡被用作结构内部口袋的形式。然后，将沙子、水(从地下井中提取)、水凝胶和钙化细菌混合在气泡上，这些气泡定向于盛行的风中。当风将沙子输送到表面时，细菌将混合物转化为石头。经过几次应用，表面是足够稳定的，以消除气泡。

To construct the wall, the harsh climate is harnessed as a tool for progress. Inflatable textile bubbles are used as the form for the internal pockets of the structure. A mixture of sand, water (extracted from subterranean wells), hydrogel, and a calcifying bacteria is then applied to the bubbles, which are oriented into the prevailing wind. As the wind transfers sand onto the surface, the bacteria converts the mixture into stone. After a few applications, the surface is stable enough to remove the bubbles.

通过这种施工方法，结构保持了一个多孔的表面，通过漏风进行自然通风。地面生态系统进一步促进了生计，因为地下蓄水层的水被带到地表，以培育微藻、蘑菇和蔬菜。

Through this construction method, the structure maintains a porous surface that funnels the wind for natural ventilation. An ecosystem at the ground level further fosters sustenance, as water from subterranean aquifers is brought to the surface to cultivate microalgae, mushrooms, and vegetables.
