Construction Techniques

Check out these links for some interesting information on construction techniques that could be used in the build.

Ecologic Pavilion In Alsace/Studio 1984:

This one is actually pretty interesting, a straw-bale classroom, so quite appropriate to our project! (Cool pictures and diagrams as well)
Straw Bale Eco Centre/Students of Ball State University Department of Architecture:

Emma, one the team members had this to say about the below link: "Okay, found this, seriously like the theory and its multi-storey with straw-bales..."
Guest House/AATA Associate Architects:

Another one from Emma she loves...
Caterpillar House:
