"If you want 'economical' → rammed earth probably, isn’t it. (in general)
If you want 'fast' → rammed earth definitely, isn’t it.
If you want 'social approval' → you’ll fight for 30 years
If you want 'passive temperature regulation from massive walls' → rammed earth might be exactly right." https://rammedearth.substack.com/p/rammed-earth-what-youll-actually re: #eartharchitecture aka #rammedearth -

#Cob, a #vernacular earth #construction process in the context of modern #sustainable building
Erwan Hamard, et al.
"The will of reducing environmental and social impact of building industry has led to a renewed interest in #EarthConstruction. Most of earth construction literature dealt with #RammedEarth or #Adobe techniques, but very little with cob. Yet, cob participates in the diversity of #vernacular earth construction processes that value local materials and is an alternative to rammed earth and adobe in specific geographical conditions.
"#Conservation of cob heritage also requires a better knowledge of this vernacular construction process. This bibliographical analysis gathered extensive data on cob process and summarized the different cob process variations, attempting to take into account their diversity. This analysis allowed us to provide novel data on cob process, and more specifically, a clear definition of cob with regard to other earth construction processes, a first summarized description of cob process that clearly distinguished its variations, a list of fibres traditionally employed, values and, if possible, average and standard deviation for fibre length, fibre content, manufacture water content, drying times, lift heights and wall thicknesses, a summary of the strategies to manage shrinkage cracks, a criterion on the quality of implementation and/or earth for cob, based on slenderness ration of lifts and a discussion on the evolution of cob process with regard to societal evolutions."

Soil testing today! Evaluating the soil I dug for the #poolPond for potential use for rammed earth floor and/or fence. The narrow mouth mason jar is soil from the smaller hole. The wide mouth mason (🎸 ) is from the large pile.

#backyardProject #rammedEarth #PortAlberni Also yes, #atlas reminded me it was #caturday He says hello, and "why is this jar on my table meow?" #catsodon -
So much YES. Would love to connect with fellow enthusiasts and professionals working in the field, and engage more actively, bringing in my own expertise of working in high end interiors and architecture. If that's you, please reach out, boost, connect.
We OBVIOUSLY can't 'keep on keeping on' and design our built environment like we don't know how fundamentally flawed our design principles and construction methods are.
Let's embrace new aesthetics and look forward, not back. Bauhaus was relevant at the time, it's history now. Let's move on. Let's question every single choice in the design process and make better decisions. Educate our clients. Throw those outdated concepts overboard of what is aesthetically pleasant, what is deemed high-end.
Nobody will enjoy marbled lobbies, airconditioned greenhouse towers and concrete buildings on a dead planet. The future is now. Let's design and build it together!

@dan613 @catarinac There's a lot more to #SustainableArchitecture & #SustainableMaterials though than just #Cement , #Concrete and #Wood, e.g. #Bamboo , #Wattle & #Daub , #CobBuilding , #Mudbrick #AdobeBuilding , #RammedEarth , #CompressedEarth , #Hempcrete , #Aircrete and #Aerogel from the top of my non-expert head.

One of the most amazing building technology, sidestepped and forgotten because of our addiction to cementeand concrete is rammed earth.
Ancient civilizations, built huge buildings using nothing but earth, either reinforced with hay, or simply pressed to create bricks that lasted centuries.
Ancient city of Bam in south central Iran and Saana in Yemen are examples of such amazing building method that helps keeping the interior cool in summer and warm in winter while it's beauty and simplicity made it last generation after generation.
Bam was almost completely destroyed after the devastating earthquake of 2003 and Saana is partially destroyed by almost decade long brutal war by Saudi and UAE against the people of Yemen.
There are people now who are trying to spread the knowledge about this cheap, reliable and beautiful way of building houses in warm climates. Combined with modern technology to use concrete foundation and use barbeife to reinforce the layers, these buildings can be made at a fraction of the cost of those using concrete blocks or bricks. Plus they have almost 0 carbon footprint and do not need any energy to process them before being pressed by hand or machine to create such magnificent beautiful walls. They are so beautiful that they don't even need paint.
It is possible to make them last longer by adding an extra layer of water proof plaster on top or just simply leave them as they are and they will withstand the rain and wind for many decades without losing their strength or beauty.
