Lehm Ton Erde

Martin Rauch's contemporary rammed earth: in-situ and prefabricated walls, 100% recyclable.

Lehm Ton Erde

Description

Martin Rauch's workshop-company in Schlins (Vorarlberg, Austria), a world reference for contemporary rammed earth construction. It builds in-situ rammed earth walls and has industrialised the prefabrication of unstabilised rammed earth elements at its ERDEN facility, allowing the material to be returned entirely to the ground at the end of its service life. Raw earth requires very little energy to process and acts as a natural hygrothermal regulator. Rauch's work has been recognised with the UNESCO Chair in Earthen Architecture and the New European Bauhaus prize.

Why we chose it

Because it has brought rammed earth, one of the materials with the least embodied energy there is, to industrial prefabrication without losing its full recyclability.
