Natural Rammed Earth Building | JOI Social Space | Auroville Earth Institute

Rammed earth is an ancient building technique for constructing foundations, floors, walls using natural raw material.
Benefits of rammed earth include strength and durability, low maintenance, superior thermal mass and some studies has shown that it is fire proof as well.
A step by step explanatory video of a building with rammed earth.
The new community Joy Of Impermanence collaborated with the world famous Auroville Earth Institute to build their social/ co working space.
They wanted to make the building with earth.... using as less cement as possible and as much natural materials as possible. They decided to do rammed earth walls, with wattle and dub and lime render.

Lovely

Why did not put a rebar in a wall?

[@AurorasEyeFilms]

I think as its a load bearing wall it doesn't need it

[@jansveen]

I would like to see how much energy was put in to building this small house? It does not seem like a method that would work good in a big perspective. It's interesting and probably nice to be a part of, but to transfer it to a big society, seems not as realistic.

[@peterbeyer5755]

I always amazed at how keen people are to learn these skills yet how poorly dressed they are to protect themselves from possible injury.

[@JitendraPatel-db8dr]

Can you suggest any person/contractor to construct such house in Vadodara

[@AurorasEyeFilms]

Soorry we have no idea

[@apsingh18]

[@vijayshankar7110]

My question, why they are so many white people in auroville than Indians

[@AurorasEyeFilms]

Actually from what I understand the proportion of Indian aurovilliens is almost half of the residents, not including all the villagers, volunteers and guests. It's actually supposed to be an international township where people all over the world love together experimenting with living in human unity and peace. I think there is about 70 different nationalities there at the moment, looking to keep growing in number..
