Urban Strawbale: School in Montreuil, Paris

Montreuil_Perspective

The Straw Bale School in Montreuil, Paris, will most probably be the place for the ESBG 2015 (yet the final decision is not made now). It is a best-practice-example for an urban straw bale building and illustrates one of the main topics of the European Straw Bale Gathering 2015: STRAW GOES URBAN.
