Overview
HEMPCRETE / BIO-COMPOSITE ARCHITECTURE is a global architectural style rooted in France (1980s), UK/EU (2000s-present), North America (2010s-present); Core identity: Hemp hurds (the woody core of hemp stalks) mixed with lime binder - cast or sprayed into formwork - monolithic wall 250-400 mm thick - warm off-white to pale tan color - visible texture of hemp particles in the wall surface - carbon-negative (hemp sequesters CO₂ during growth) - breathable walls that regulate humidity - excellent thermal and acoustic insulation -...
