Introduction to SIREWALL (Stabilized Insulated Rammed Earth) Course

• Making rammed earth samples to take home – a hands-on experience that includes choosing the soil at the pit and analyzing soil blends.
• Engaging in “deep green” conversations; a contextual construct to assess green alternatives.
• Exploring aspects of design and engineering for the best use this new material.
• Comparing applications around the rammed earth world, what works and what does not work.
• Learning how to participate in moving this technology forward and how can you make a difference.
