Exploring Rammed Earth and Sand on Hormuz Island, Iran

Exploring Rammed Earth and Sand on Hormuz Island, Iran

Have you ever visited the vibrant neighborhood of Hormuz Island, also known as Rainbow Island? Located in the Persian Gulf, south of Iran, this stunning destination is famous for its colorful sand, making it a popular tourist spot.

The Architectural Marvel of Hormuz Island

On Hormuz Island, Nader Khalili designed a colorful housing complex made of earth domes, showcasing the island's unique aesthetic. This beachfront community not only serves as a picturesque retreat but also as a functional living space.

The architecture on Hormuz Island features a tiny town developed by ZAV Architects, consisting of overlapping rainbow domes. These domes provide homes and cultural amenities, including laundry facilities, worship spaces, and a café, all designed to reflect the island's vibrant environment and terrain.

Presence in Hormuz: A Multifunctional Community

This multifunctional hamlet, known as Presence in Hormuz, is more than just a bright and inviting refuge; it symbolizes a paradigm shift for the local community. As the architects note, “The local people of the picturesque, touristy, and politically significant island suffer economically,” often turning to criminal trafficking operations using their boats. This urban development initiative aims to revitalize the local economy by engaging community members, both skilled and unskilled.

“He Asked For Wisdom” Monday, June 16, 2025

Key Verse “Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?” (2 Chronicles 1:10) Text —2 Chronicles 1:1-10 Message William Shakespeare says, “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” When God gave Solomon the opportunity as “king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude” (verse 9) to ask what He would give him, Solomon knew he needed wisdom to reign in David his father’s stead. So, instead of asking for riches, power, and other mundane things of this life like the people of the world would do, he asked for wisdom. The Scripture admonishes young people saying, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil” (Proverbs 3:5-7). We all know the sinking feeling we have when we do something poorly. Lack of wisdom brings disgrace and pain but wisdom in trials makes us useful to God and to fellow men. Only wise young people strive to serve God well and have great influence for greater good. Quote Lack of wisdom brings disgrace Challenge Allow God to direct your paths. Prayer for today Dear God, grant me more wisdom, in Jesus’ name.
