You’re not just a casual enthusiast. You want to dive deep under the surface to gain a solid understanding of SIREWALL: how it works, what makes it perform so much better than other leading forms of rammed earth. But most importantly you want to understand how to do it!
SIREWALL is a truly remarkable building system: attractive, resilient, sustainable and strong. Projects implementing our wall system have garnered the attention of the World Architecture Festival twice; and it has been used by one of the world’s leading architecture firms, Foster+Partners.
It has been designed with the future in mind and will become increasingly relevant in a climate-changed world. If you’re in the building industry anywhere on earth, understanding what it takes to create SIREWALL will likely give you a valuable edge.
Creating conventional rammed earth isn’t hard. Anyone can make a pretty wall.
What makes rammed earth difficult to do well is that every single project brings a unique combination of variables which require adjustment to the process. More then 25 years of R&D have gone into improving our methods so we can confidently adapt our system to practically any situation.
SIREWALL has no step-by-step recipe. It is our way of approaching and responding to unique challenges and variables. There is variability in everything from locally available soils and machinery to local language and culture. What we offer is a strategic method of working with this variability in order to achieve consistently good results. We think our records speak for themselves—click to view stats.
Whether you’re an architect, engineer, contractor or student, this foundational course has something for you.
Gain insight on how rammed earth can be built in a range of climates. Our team has over 25 years of R&D and experience and knows what it takes to build beautiful, incredibly strong walls that last—at practically any scale, in almost any environment.
