The second project meeting took place in Switzerland where we visited our project partners Blumer-Lehmann AG and Oxara AG. We first had the opportunity to see an ongoing Blumer-Lehmann AG project in Basel. In the project, a wooden beam ceiling with a rammed earth arch in between is being produced on site (Hortus ceiling).
After the tour of the field production, we went to the construction site to inspect the installed end product.
In the subsequent project meeting, many relevant topics and possible solutions were discussed. These will now be examined in detail as the project progresses.
Our meeting concluded with a visit of Oxara AG in Dietikon. We learned more about the current status and development of the product range. The presentation ended in an informative exchange about the material properties of clay based materials.
Many thanks to Blumer-Lehmann AG and Oxara AG for the exciting insights.
