C Rammed Earth - Timber

Proposal

This technology is based on a traditional system of thick rammed earth walls. The innovations proposed to adapt this technology for large-scale contemporary use are: reduction of wall width, standardization of the formwork and analysis of the composition of locally available earth to maximise its long-term resistance to external elements.
