Hey!
I was taking the english regents and one of the passages was about straw bale construction.
The passage was talking about straw bale and how it was lot less costly then regular conventional houses. the straw has to be completly dry so it wouldnt bring insects, mold and and thing like that. Because of the way its built, there is enough aim to keep cool or warm, but there is not enough air for combustion, that makes it more fire proof. Plus its very stable, it wont collapse from a earth quake. The great thing about this material is that its renewable resource. We could build 5 million 2000 sqaure foot houses from the straw in the us.
A straw bale is a bundle of straw tightly bound with twine or wire. Bales may be square, rectangular, or round, depending on the type of baler used.
So i was wondering, if Straw bale would be an "okay" material to use for the satdium or would it be stupid?

Let me know what you all think
This is so sick! I was going to post about it!
ReplyDeleteStraw-bales are awesome, and it's consistent with what we're striving for. It's environmentally friendly, within the the 30,000 radius of the site, economically efficient, and if we were to use straw-bale as a building material our project would really stand out. However, is it structually consistent with the construction of a stadium? In the regents, the focus was on small structures, housing, etc.
Ha i beat u to it :p
ReplyDeletebut i was wondering the same thing, will it "go" with the stadium were building??
Perhaps we can find a different use for it withing the structure. We want something far more concrete. Straw Bale seems great for a house, but it is a bit temporary.We might want to look at something that is a bit more permanent.
ReplyDeleteBut it's a great idea. I love bio-materials like that.
You put the straw bale in with the concreate how is that not permenant???
ReplyDeleteSo, you mix the straw bale with the concrete?
ReplyDeleteWait, can you fully explain to me how this works.
