Climate-neutral, energy self-sufficient, mobile modular system for Wald kindergarten – Prototype in Pinzberg, Germany, for 20 children.
Circular, cradle-to-cradle, completely dismantlable, locally sourced building materials (screws only, no staples, nails, adhesives, sealants, completely reusable).
The insulation is 35 cm thick, out of straw bales, which will be plowed under after dismantling. 4 cm clay plaster from a nearby clay pit. Hands-on construction site for children and parents.
Support system: exoskeleton, beetle wood sawn from the immediate vicinity, untreated. No CO2-emitting building materials like cement/lime, etc.
Elevated, minimal environmental impact on soil, animals, and flood-proof.
