This school in Thailand is made entirely out of earth and bamboo


Recommended Posts

Fantastic. As an Architect myself I would like to offer my heartiest congratulations to the designer of this school. The use of cheap and readily available and sustainable materials, the zero carbon footprint, the appropritiatness of the relationship with the climate and the joy of the spaces created.

Government Thai housing for the the underpriveged and poor could use this technique at very little cost to the coffers and offer a far better environment than is created with the current copies of unsuitable western styles.

An added advantage is low maintenance and the lack of skilled workers required thus giving employment to those that have been unable to get any form of training.

zero carbon footprint? The electricity is from wind?

They use BioGas generated on site for all of the cooking. Also the kids have to wash up all their own plates etc... which I really like.

So cool. Future Thai adults with this experience. How cool is that?
