For more sustainable construction methods and materials, “Natural Materials Live” offers the opportunity to try out natural building materials and techniques. Visitors will be able to see for themselves the results that have brought about the recent resurgence in ‘natural building’, not just for housing but for commercial buildings too. Experts will be on hand throughout to give advice on all the materials and techniques plus the integration of natural building materials into mainstream architecture, building regulations and structural considerations.
Key contributors to “Natural Materials Live” are Jackie Abey and Jill Smallcombe who, since 1999, have worked together using natural building materials and methods on a variety of projects including the Eden Project and Somerset College of Arts and Technology.
