Straw Bale Construction - Technical Interfaces and Associated Building Components

The structural integrity of a straw-bale building depends not only on the quality of the construction details, but also on how those details are integrated, coordinated, and verified throughout the project process.

Once the critical interfaces have been identified and the risks prioritized, this analysis should be translated into a systematic plan for the design and construction phases. The proposed methodology aims to structure this integration in a step-by-step manner, from the conceptual design phase through to final acceptance.
