CobBauge 1

The CobBauge Project team (based in UK and France) set out to run a long term project to understand Cob (Bauge in French) and to promote its use in the 21st century.
They sought Interreg funding to support their project.
Interreg in turn required the team to prove the viability of a traditional earth based building material and method of construction during the first year to prove its technical performance capability, before releasing it with extra money for the remaining years.
The team have succeeded in the first challenge and and now funded to progress with the remaining years.
The Phase 1 final event in December 2018 set out a plethora of evidence of the materials capability and the methods capacity to be a credible method of construction, compliant with the building regulations and exhibiting numerous other advantageous properties.

CobBauge Phase 2

The Phase 2 workshop in July 2019 started an interactive process of involving stakeholders in brainstorming the detailing of the 21st century Cob & Bauge construction.
