July 18 - Aug 01, 2016
Altmünster/Austria
Young architects and students from all over the world came to the Traunsee to learn in a practical way how to build in a contemporary way with simple building materials such as earth and bamboo.
Earth is a building material with great potentials. It is available almost all over the world, can be used in many different techniques and is known for its good indoor climate properties, among other things. Used correctly, earth is a durable building material that is also gaining importance again in Europe.
