One of the trends in contemporary architecture is the use of traditional technologies. A practical example of such action is the construction of an experimental building erected with the use of raw earth technology (rammed earth in formwork, earth pressed blocks and straw-clay blocks), located in the Ecological Park in Pasłęk. The project was developed by a team of authors from the Faculty of Architecture at the Warsaw University of Technology. The building was commissioned in 2012. The aim of erecting of this building was to demonstrate the construction methods of raw earth and then to enable research and observation on the behavior of the structure during operation. The building was designed as an energy-saving building with the possibility of obtaining solar energy using the passive method. A roof covered with extensive greenery was also used. The article presents the design assumptions, the description of the implementation and the results of site inspections during the operation.}, doi = {10.4467/25438700SM.18.009.8519}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/srodowisko-mieszkaniowe/article/creation-of-pro-ecological-architecture-raw-earth-constructions-realisation-and-operation-of-an-experimental-building-in-the-ecological-park-in-paslek} }
