The second in the series of four lunchtime online CPD lectures addressing the theme 'New Ideas for Old Buildings'. Using the Tribeca development near King's Cross, London, as a case study, Nikolay Shahpazov will be discussing the use of site excavated subsoil to make earth blocks for building construction. These earth blocks were used in place of concrete in the building of a new laboratory for the London BioScience Innovation Centre (LBIC), the first project in the UK where their application has been achieved at this scale. Emitting just 1/10 of the CO2 of cement alternatives, they highlight one of the ways traditional construction methods and materials can be combined with modern manufacturing techniques to produce low-carbon building products. |
