| Introduction | The Stanley Park Earthen Architecture Project: Objectives of the SPEA: 1. Demonstrate “green” building practice through the use of cob and pursuing sustainability in all aspects of the project including using recycled, non-toxic, local natural materials. 2. Provide opportunities for the public to learn about sustainability and engage youth in the construction. 3. Enhance park experience for visitors by creating a structure that is beautiful and ideally suited to its environment. 4. Explore potential for more cob use in parks and the city via engineering, fire and permitting implications for additional and larger structures. |
