This year’s finalist projects cover prefabricated timber–earth building systems, construction with rammed earth, hempcrete and spruce from Vaud forests, bus shelters in local solid timber, solid timber slabs that make use of storm-damaged and bark beetle-infested wood, the governance and funding of adaptable, low-carbon neighbourhoods, digital tools linking geometry, costs and life-cycle assessment, a robotic construction assistant for reclaimed timber and sawmill offcuts, the reuse of glulam beams, rice straw panels bound with mycelium, removable and reusable tiling, and furniture made from sawdust bound with potato starch.
