New frontiers: hay houses

It is nowadays frequent to encounter houses built with hay walls, Mr Werner Schmidt is an artist in the field because joints together great design and energy saving due to total insulation given by the building materials building this way is also remarkably cheaper..
A canadian, Cory Vitt, has produced, for the first time, vetiver bales and erected a wall with it, but with different tecniques than Mr Schmidt: the bales are posed together, coverd with wire mesh and plastered with a layer of cement. Here is the Photo gallery of the job, comprehensive of compression tests and final monument.
Enjoy.
