Werner Schmidt (Trübbach, Switzerland, 1953) is one of the most interesting contemporary ‘green’ architects, particularly experienced in straw-bale building. His accomplishments include now 20 straw-bale buildings of which 14 are at least partially load-bearing.

The European Straw Building Association is an independent European association, devoid of any profit making motive. The object of the Association is to promote and develop the use of straw, as a sustainable way of building in all the senses of the term “sustainable”: renewable, ecological, healthy, energy and climate efficient, social and economic.
The Association is a federation composed of organisations and people particularly concerned with the use of straw in buildings.
