    1:45 Vernacular architecture of Nepal
    2:06 Rammed earth construction process
    6:31 Eco-friendly rammed earth
    8:11 To be an inspiration
    Rammed earth is a technique for constructing foundations, floors, and walls by ramming natural raw materials such as earth, chalk, lime, or gravel using a formwork. This age-old building technique is part of Nepal's vernacular architecture and is now trending again, thanks to the efforts of a few eco-building enthusiasts in Nepal. This is the 2nd video of the 2-part series on rammed earth architecture
    Basant Shrestha, Director of Strategic Cooperation, International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) had worked on rebuilding Nepal after the devastating 2015 earthquake. During the process, he and his team at ICIMOD explored various construction options that were earthquake-resistant and less burdening to the environment. One of the options was Rammed Earth. Mr. Shrestha used this technique when he planned to build his own house in Godawari, Nepal.
    This video explains why and how to build a rammed earth eco-friendly home. Narayan Acharya of Sustainable Future and architect Saurav Shrestha demonstrate the extraction of soil, preparing the earth mix, and the significance of concrete ring beams and wooden formworks.

    This is awesome. Just a reminder the ultimate goal of these experiments should be to create structures that can affordably be implemented at scale for the masses. Modularity should also be considered for an elastic population.

      It's not going to be affordable until we get together to build together. The Amish people for example come together as a community for large project including moving barns by dozens of people lifting them and walking, carrying the barn

      It's usually 1/3rd of the cost to build than using cement and concrete etc.
