{"Page URL":"https://www.appropedia.org/Haiti_Communitere_straw_bale_house","Page description":"The straw bale house at  was built by [http://www.builderswithoutborders.org/ Builders Without Boarders]. It was made entirely out of locally sourced materials. Straw bales from local rice fields were used as an insulation layer in the walls. The walls were finished with a natural plaster. The foundation was made with rubble from the 2010 Haiti earthquake and gravel bags made with tarps collected and sewn by people in earthquake affected regions. Old pallets were used as roof trusses. The house seems to fit a Haiti aesthetic and common two-room design.","Page image":"File:HCStrawbale.jpg","Page keywords":"Travel internships, Alternative building","Page language":"en","Page license":"CC-BY-SA-3.0","Page title":"Haiti Communitere straw bale house","Page views":"135","Page year":"Wednesday, 01-Jan-14 00:00:00 UTC","Project authors":"Builders Without Boarders","Project coordinates":"19.139994444444, -72.357097222222","Project location":"Haiti","Project status":"Deployed","Project thumb":"https://www.appropedia.org/w/images/thumb/b/b5/HCStrawbale.jpg/330px-HCStrawbale.jpg","Modification date":"Thursday, 27-Nov-25 19:53:19 UTC"}
