Baskets of Stone (Leonardo da Vinci invention)

Ancient construction techniques used in new ways. An old civil engineering technique of building with gabions has surfaced all over the world, making it’s mark on the landscape with gusto.
It can be an earth (and budget) friendly way to terrace your yard, particularly if you are able to fill the wire mesh construction with reused/recycled stones.
Historical sidenote: The word gabion comes from the italian gambionne, translating to “big cage”. Leonardo da Vinci used gabions to create the foundation for San Marco church in Milan. He called them Corbeille Leonard, after his own genius for thinking them up.
