Magnus Larsson Turning dunes into architecture

Inside of the dunes we find shade.

The desert is there, sand dunes, some small field.

So let's make architectural sand dunes and a beach cabana.

Now, sand dunes cover only about one fifth of our deserts.

Sand dunes are almost like ready made buildings in a way.

There's hundreds, up to a 1,000 or 1,200 miles of dunes.

It says, well, there's the sea, there are dunes, and I'm here.

Where were they? It got even more puzzling when we found dunes.

It's obviously a place which is very dry, or you wouldn't get dunes.

The dunes here move southward at a pace of around 600 meters a year.

OK, so this is our movie of the equatorial region of Titan, showing these dunes. These are dunes that are 100 meters tall, separated by a few kilometers, and they go on for miles and miles and miles.

And when you go to the beach, what do you get? You get sand dunes.

As I said earlier, it looked very much like Earth, so you see sand dunes.

They love Namibia for its beautiful dunes, that are even taller than the Empire State Building.

It provides a physical support structure for the trees, and it creates physical spaces, habitable spaces inside of the sand dunes.

So, we have a way of turning sand into sandstone, and then creating these habitable spaces inside of the desert dunes.

The Asian TPN 3 on rangeland management in arid areas, including the fixation of shifting sand dunes, was launched in 2001.

The development of agriculture in hillsides, edges of the rivers and dunes provokes erosion destroying the ground, and reducing land fertility, which harm women the most.

And mention the brother of Aad, as he warned his people at the dunes. Warnings have passed away before him, and after him Worship none but God I fear for you the punishment of a tremendous Day.

And they can use that energy in case the wind falls away, and the tide is coming up, and there is still a little bit of energy to reach the dunes and save their lives, because they are drowned very easily.

And remember the brother of Ad, when he warned his people beside the sand dunes and already warners had passed away alike before him and behind him saying, 'Serve none but God! Truly I fear for you the chastisement of a dreadful day.

Recount to them the story of (Hud), the brother of (the tribe of) 'Ad. Hud warned his people beside the sand dunes and there have been other warners before him and since his time saying Serve none but Allah. Verily I fear that the chastisement of an awesome day shall come upon you.

The Egyptians tanks could still have counter attacked, but they were engaged by an Israeli tank battalion that appeared from well behind the trench lines, having crossed supposedly impassable sand dunes. Then the Israeli tanks that had been shooting up the trench lines crossed over them to enter the box, and finish off Egyptian resistance.

Sharon had his troops climb over the sand dunes to enter the trench lines at their top end and attack down their length a simple maneuver that the Egyptians could have defeated had they not been pinned down by an artillery barrage and Israeli tanks firing directly at them. The Israeli infantrymen had taped flashlights to their helmets so that the tank gunners could direct their fire at the Egyptians just ahead of them.
