Localtalks 01.23 - Breathing walls: Creating Healthy Indoor Environments

[@Eze683]

From Pigmented breathable plaster to breathable wall cores and actually seeing the powerful opportunities this presents in our context, I am truly inspired.
These are discussions that seemingly no one wants to have. The nature of surfaces that we specify in buildings is indeed important in creating healthy and comfortable spaces. While everyone is impulsively importing surface finish solutions, such home grown endeavours truly mean a lot to the local architectural and developer community.
I admit there is so much I feel confident to recommend in my designs from here onwards in regard to this presentation.
Thank you Localworks for these Localtalks.

Thanks for this much needed discussion. Much needed because this is a recurring problem I see on most buildings today. In conclusion, people need to be more cautious at the construction stage when water proofing since the go to building materials for finishes on the market are mostly non breathable.
Qn: Are the external wall pastes on the Ugandan market considered non breathable?
