Exploring Industrialization of Straw Bale Building in Sweden

Written by esba

A seed was planted some years ago to look closer at straw bale construction. Attending a practical course in straw bale construction, at Slöjd & Byggnadsvård in the spring of 2014, was a large stepping stone for the realization and the formation of this master’s thesis. This master’s thesis would not be possible without the help from skilled individuals and companies and therefore we want to thank everyone who has contributed to our work.

We hope that this work will inspire people to continue to question the conventional and exploring other alternatives.
