A couple of my screenshots of yesterday’s co-hosted webinar by SBUK & SEDA. My pics don’t do the design or presentation justice at all!
If you missed it then look out for forthcoming notifications on SEDA’s platforms (website, YouTube etc)

Insulation existing buildings with straw bales is called "Wrapping" in #strawbuilding #strawhouse jargon.

#strawhouse, #strawbuilding this time 5 storeys high.
This is about the all the height/ density you really need in most places. Does not require poisonous materials, makes life affordable and healthy.

People at bioblow looking at a wood panel filled with chopped straw by a blow in hood on a semi automated wood frame production line
Here you can see at Bioblow what you need in extra infrastructure to switch to #strawhouse #strawbuilding.
Nothing, it works with the existing infrastructure. Why? It's already there. Using straw leads to the smallest foot prints in construction with performance.

Participants also found it fun and appropriate to hold a #strawbuilding seminar in such a place. #embodiedcarbon. We are coming.
Or rather a rehab with straw and timber of existing buildings?

Just some regular prefab straw panels, pre-plastered with earth or lime climate, resource and housing solution goodness, again. #strawhouse #strawbuilding

You're still skeptical or already enthusiastic (in german it's called fire and flame btw) about #prefab #strawbuilding after our last webinar on the topic? Anyway you should take a moment to watch this video.

Folks from ekodama architektura assembling a temporal straw house exhibition.
I have always liked how doable #strawbuilding is, a #strawhouse is very fast more than a hut, this can be high performance construction by laypeople. This is human scale tech.

This large #strawhouse used wood nails and wood(composite) screws. #strawbuilding #architecture = We can build better for a long time now.

Blow-in straw seems to be getting traction in some countries. Can you see why? #strawbuilding #strawhouse #biobased #renewables Foto: bioblow.com
Which means you can make batteries from straw.
#strawbuilding.
That's why most of us don't want to mix / contaminate #strawbuilding with business as usual materials. We want this to be compostable in a few hundred years, without harming the environment.

Biodegradability is not a bug, it's a feature.
The trick is to make it possible only when you want it to happen.

When I started building with straw, there were only a handful of people doing it. To put it mildly, universities had very limited interest in it. Now that is changing; #strawbuilding can no longer be ignored. But at the working end, there are still only a handful of people doing it. New papers list🧵

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.
"The CR [community rebuilds] experience was intended to inspire a cultural change in the broader building world, moving the paradigm of stressful, macho, conventional construction site culture towards an inclusive and healthy site with natural materials." #strawhouse #strawbuilding
This all-straw house approach by LTL architects is wild. But imho it's also way to explore carbon storage possibilities. #strawhouse #strawbuilding #bicrs
