Theme

Earth Building in the UK is developing with new build and heritage projects protecting and enhancing our approaches to earth as a building material.  Skills are being developed for the design of earth buildings, the methods of construction and approaches to conservation.

The 2014 EBUK conference “Training in Earth Building: from design to construction” will be held in Norwich on 14th February 2014. The broad conference theme includes education and training in building with earth, training in the structural and thermal design of earth buildings, training in safe and reliable construction methods and in the appropriate use of earth as a building material.

The conference will showcase design, construction, conservation and research in the UK. Papers and presenters will engage with the conference theme and broader context of building with earth in the UK.
