Abstract

In this research light earth building is assessed on its possibilities to be applied in a more urban manner. Through literature studies and key performance indicators a view on which light earth building methods could be applied on larger scale development is established. Also, the possibilities of harvesting the resources in the region of Amsterdam, through provisional services of the Amsterdam wetlands and the residual earth flows of the city, is investigated. Through literature studies and an interview, a quantification is given of an annual, regenerative number of facades that could be filled with different types of light earth mixtures.
