Are you thinking about building a straw bale house? Or do you want to influence your industry towards more sustainable construction in the future? Is it climate-smart and energy-efficient, perhaps a natural house even with clay and lime plaster as building materials? This course is aimed at those who dream of or plan to build their own house. But also for those who work in the construction industry, perhaps as a carpenter or if you prepare construction drawings and want to take a further step into sustainable construction.
Herbert Gruber, who held his first course at Ecotopia in 2012, is back! The same year that Ecotopia opened. In the meantime, he has built up a knowledge center for straw and natural house construction that works both digitally and physically. The center's team of partners in Architecture - Construction - Plumbing - Energy covers the entire construction planning and process including training and workshops on construction sites around Europe. Here you see a self-build in process. So a developer can realize his dream and be involved or a construction company can start building natural houses.
