re: [strawbale] Strawbaleproject the Netherlands

[m.ep@laposte...]

Hi,
For those who do not master the beautiful Dutch language (or French): 

Erik Vermue and Tom Rijven are part of a SB project in Holland and they invite interested people to come and have a look during the 'open day' the 18th of Jan.

Their project is interesting for several reasons:
* It will be a conference hall of 345M˛ for one of the biggest banks in the Netherlands (in fact the biggest Dutch mortgage supplier).
* It is for the Floriade, a once in 10 year agricultural festival with an expected 3 million visitors.
* It is done with the Jumbo bales cut lengthwise
* It will have an earthen plaster inside AND OUT! And an earthen floor.

During the open day you will be able to see the some SB walls with- and some without plaster. 

Of course you can all come to see the finished product during the festival from April until the end of summer.

Bye
Andre
