In an event organised by Dr Marcin Kolakowski in cooperation with research colleagues from Millstone Conservation, the 4th year students had the opportunity to travel to Welton le Marsh, Candlesby in Lincolnshire and take part in a hands-on workshop.
During the presentation and workshop students learned some aspects of the technology relating to the most fundamental way of building – using un-fired earth. It is worth noting that 2/3 of all the buildings across the world are made out of un-fired earth.
