Abstract

Straw bale construction is a unique and sustainable take on comfortable living. Contrasting straw bale construction and current traditional construction in terms of sustainability and efficiency, we take a look on how this form of construction could potentially revolutionize the future of sustainable living.

Straw bale construction goes back to the 1800’s during the civil war. They were originally meant to be temporary housing, but people quickly realized that there is comfort & durability in these structures.
