[GSBN] Prefabricated and/or Modular Natural Building Systems

[Derek Roff]

I wonder if Dirk’s message to Lars came through to GSBN.  If so, I missed it.  I’d like to mention Chris Magwood’s book on pre-fab strawbale, which I also didn’t see mentioned on this thread, so far.  Maybe I missed that, too.  The book, and Chris, are great resources.  Below are links to his Endeavor Centre website, a page on that site touching on prefab strawbale, the book’s page on the New Society Publishers website, and a link to the book on Amazon, in an insufficiently distant fourth place.

Hi Dirk,
Yes, I clearly remember our discussion in Montargis. I appreciated it very much - thank you for being honest with me.
My involvement with the prefab system was a huge dilemma for me, that tore at my heart. I was trying to work out if I was letting my grassroots background down, if I was getting in bed with money. And so on.

Now almost 3 years older and wiser it is clear to me, that the prefab system is better at communicating with a much larger segment of decision makers, such as architects, engineers and customers, than I have previously been able to with my skills and energy.
It seems to me that we are pushing and enlarging the entire playing field. I think this will make it easier to use straw in any form, including the way my own house was build.

At the moment we are discussing with our local authorities about the Fire protection ability of clayplaster as a lining / cladding, according to the European classification in accordance with EN 14135.
Are you aware of any tests in this regard that you can share ?

Best, Lars
