The Hastings Trust Pathway to Construction event was held this year on 5th June. It’s a great event where local builders partner up with local schools on a sustainable construction project for a term, the results of which are then judged at the event. We at Cave feel it’s really important for our UK construction industry to get involved with schools and help children to understand their environment better and to hopefully tap into and encourage any would be builders, designers and architects out there.
At this event Cave partnered up with the fantastic Amazonails (sustainable design and construction pioneers!) to run a stand all about the amazing potential of strawbale building! Above you see Barbara Jones of Amazonails and Vera demonstrating the ease of splitting a strawbale in half, you just have to be careful not to get your strings crossed!
