Lime Bricks

An ongoing research project defined as part of an elective course “Future Craft”, this study is an exploration of hempcrete, an innovative lime-based building material with the potential to reshape sustainable construction practices. The primary focus is on a detailed examination of hempcrete's properties, specifically its formability and brittleness. The project involves testing of various compounds and proportions, aiming to identify the relationship between harmonizes structural integrity and form. The material is packed in CNC machined brick molds with variety of shapes, reacting differently to the form based on the properties/ratios of the lime-hemp mixture.
