Adobe Natural Medicine Pharmacy

Problem
Poor access to medicine in rural El Salvador. Decreasing knowledge of indigenous natural medicine among Cacaopera community. Deforestation worsened by wood-fired kilns used to fire bricks.

Summary
This building was built to be a natural medicine pharmacy; it's current funtion is unknown. Adobe was chosen to reduce costs and the use of wood for firing bricks.
