You want to learn all about structural potential of regenerative building materials?

This programme provides a comprehensive background in structural dimensioning and calculation tools to design and implement high-efficiency building structures with regenerative materials. 

It focuses on load-bearing stone masonry, rammed earth (walls and vaults), unfired clay brick masonry, straw bale construction, bamboo structures and the structural aspects of reused building elements. We also invite experts to speak on the long-term durability (particularly with regard to heat, air and moisture – HAM) and the seismic behaviour of these structures.

We uses innovative teaching practices with participative methods, experimental lectures, hands-​on exercises, calculation workshops, visits to inspiring projects and project-​based learning.
