#earthbuilding — Public Fediverse posts

Biodegradability is not a bug, it's a feature. The trick is to make it possible only when you want it to happen. #strawhouse #strawbuilding #earthbuilding #timber #hemp #biobased #architecture

My resolution for 2026 is to no longer dominate the terms #strawhouse #strawbuilding #earthbuilding #howtostrawbalebuilding, etc. I won't post less, but more of you will have to build, renovate, talk about the best available climate and resource conscious technology for retrofits and new buildings.

#EarthBuilding: On a recent 19th Century #retrofit project I discovered behind a thin layer of #lime, the plaster was a crumbly, lime stabilised #earth. Days later, replacing bathroom tiles in my 30’s semi - I found internal walls made from #straw blocks, bound by soft plaster. #NaturalBuilding materials are not fringe pursuits. From the many lump earth (#cob, #dabbins) buildings in Devon and Cumbria, to the more subtle use of #clay in #mortars & #plaster these materials are all around us.
