This month’s Dezeen In Depth newsletter explores building with Cob, an age-old building material made from clay-rich earth, straw and water. Subscribe to Dezeen In Depth today!
Can an ancient building material become mainstream again? Cob is cheap, sustainable and compostable, and so a small group of experts are trying to bring it back into the mainstream.
This month’s Dezeen In Depth newsletter leads with a feature from Dezeen architecture editor Lizzie Crook examining the major challenges and opportunities of building with cob.
The latest edition of Dezeen In Depth also features an interview with MVRDV’s Nathalie de Vries and an opinion piece on the phenomenon of chairs designed not to be sat on.
