[Strawbale]Re: green roof on a straw bale loading wall

[Stephan Meijer]

dear valentina,
I have done some researchwork for a design competition and i have 
encountered the same problem. At the time I think the only feasable option 
to apply a green roof is to build a post and beam frame with strawbale 
infill.
Archibio http://www.archibio.qc.ca/pages/roof.html from canada has done some 
experimenting with a so called 'living roof'. You can order their brochure 
which i haven't done, and maybe their ideas can help you. 

kind regards,
Stephan Meijer eM-Design
