L'Eglise Saint Gervais et Protais de Charancieu, France, built in 1862 to replace an 11th century chapel built upon the site of a 1st century Roman temple. While the clock tower ("Sophie") and one of the gables are made of stone, the church itself is a rammed earth structure. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/5977c038737c9e0d164e85320ea159caa1bc176b1067edcbed3a114762e5fc20.file

"Time and again we find that people deeply respect the genuine, the real. In consumer products as well as the highest end of the art market authenticity and story carries with it a huge price premium. It is beyond controversy that humans genuinely cherish and search out the genuine." "Yes right, but imagine the savings with these new architecture AI tools!"

Sorry important typo: 4-1-1 of hemp-lime-water. Obviously.

When I say fire proof I mean that the hempcrete itself is fireproof. The wooden structure embedded in it is obviously not fireproof and continued high temperatures can destroy it. It also needs to be tight to avoid gasses from combusting the interior.

Gorgeous indigo dyeing workshop vat platform in Awaji, Kyoto, Japan. The beautiful tiles come from a local tile artisan active for over 135 years. The platform is made of hempcrete (hemp, lime, water). https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7631ef47d55d5454e88a0bb347012418ba8dec1b4d5d184cc6717352daa6d521.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/0105a0a0602bf033db6098f6597a12d7bd62ceb9c296e6cadd9525ee96a6a7d0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/e8e11994f59dba9beb430c441ed8e94f17ce4fa2f3cd820d303f34c0838975c0.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/f79a39c68bd2bb4fd6f7c76da8ef841bbe6e837aa43c31b97b73b80f6dc9e12d.file

Hempcrete is a wall building material either poured or precast bricks. It is most commonly 4-1-1 of lime-hemp-water. Here is a 2023 experimental building in Japan. Hempcrete has good insulation properties as well as being fire proof, mold proof and insect proof. It is also non-toxic. However it isn't load bearing so you need some sort of timber structure embedded. 1m³ of hempcrete absorbs 300kg of CO₂ if you care about that. However, producing and transporting the lime isn't free or without its own associated energy costs. None of will need to be landfilled after its life is over though. Clean enough to be buried in the earth it stands on. https://hell.twtr.plus/media/ee402e2567c67000976a1f0473072cf1dcd112f33f302dd8f710e33394fb9b55.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/1c1ba77911c0f778102a030634792152af3b41b42d95c86d687cd87019f1421c.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/55d98400e6998b7fa89320d7703618b4e2ef2e24e83f2e5ef67aedfffb3d35b9.file https://hell.twtr.plus/media/7b16da07bc94f14aafaf93aca21a61cd87ba6933175046ead613588f1abdf66d.file
