[GSBN] UO student w/ research fellowship seeking nat. bldg. connections in Europe

[Tom Hahn]

Hello everyone! Greetings from Eugene in Oregon!  It has been a very 
long time since I've posted here, but this seemed an appropriate 
opportunity...

I am working with a student here at the University of Oregon who has 
been selected for an amazing research fellowship, provided by a large 
Bay Area architecture firm.  She is interested in using the fellowship 
to travel in Europe, to explore and learn more about natural building 
systems, products and materials, and visit projects there that use 
them.  She's then hoping to share those experiences and knowledge with 
others, in the architecture firm and beyond, via a publication and a 
presentations.

I mentioned that the GSBN might be a place to inquire about some 
connections for her planned travels, this coming July.    She has asked 
me to pass along her request and contact information, and has said it is 
fine to contact her directly via her email address, with any 
possibilities...  If you have a project she might visit, or you 
otherwise work with systems, products or materials she might learn from, 
that would be wonderful.  No need to include me in any followup 
correspondence with the student, though I'm glad to facilitate if needed.

Below is her request...

****************************
My name is Charlotte Kamman, and I am an architecture student at the 
University of Oregon. This summer I will be traveling through Europe on 
a research fellowship sponsored by the architecture firm Hart Howerton. 
I will be studying the use of renewable building materials such as hemp, 
straw, thatch, rammed earth, cork, and wood. I will be traveling through 
the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland from July 15 - July 
30th this summer and using this research to write a book. I would like 
to make connections with possible projects I could visit, and/or people 
or organizations involved in working with renewable building materials 
that I could interview, to learn more about your endeavors involving 
these materials.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

Sincerely,
Charlotte Kamman
