Did you know that #cowdung has been used traditionally as a water-resistant layer (plaster) in #mudhouses? In his research, @yaskk dug deep to unravel the secrets of cow dung’s water resistance.
Check out a video he made here: https://t.co/NpeO9KShks
Read more about @yaskk's research, leading to the realisation of a structure with his #cowdung mud blocks in the @tudelft repository here: https://t.co/ekALPBubP5 or visit his work at @TheGrnVillage.
Congratulations @yaskk on successfully defending your dissertation! We are proud that you are laying the foundations for more affordable, durable & desirable #earthenhouses, and that you are part of our community.

Gefeliciteerd Dr. ir. Yask Kulshreshtha met het behalen van je PhD!🎉 Op The Green Village op @tudelftcampus is Yask aan de slag gegaan met ongebakken bakstenen gemaakt van koeienmest & modder. Een eerste stap naar betaalbare & duurzame huizen💪 #duurzaambouwen#biobased
@MyrtheRythmes@TUDelft_CT@TheGrnVillage Thanks for your appreciation! In India they bake adobe blocks in the sun but the compressed mud blocks are often dried indoors. The blocks we have can also be sun-dried but we wanted to dry it indoors to prevent cracks.
In de Green Village, een openlucht-lab van TU Delft, bouwen, onderzoeken, testen en demonstreren onderzoekers en ondernemers experimentele duurzame innovaties. Bekijk hieronder verschillende innovaties.

The past week, @yaskk has been building two walls at the @TheGrnVillage to test the weather resistance of two types of his compressed building blocks made out of cow-dung.
The @tudelta wrote an article about it. Read more: https://t.co/PCOvpKpYiI #cowdung Photo: TU Delta
In India is samengedrukte aarde met mest een bouwmateriaal, maar is zo’n ongebakken blok ook bestand tegen het Nederlandse klimaat? Om dat te testen bouwt Yask Kulshreshtha @yaskk in @TheGrnVillage een testopstelling. https://t.co/4JUGcTceh9 #shitthatmatters
Last Monday the 2021-2022 edition of the Opening Academic Year was held. The event was a great success, highlighting the dreams of many @tudelft researchers, students & alumni.
Get inspired yourself & watch back the event here: https://t.co/r0QsIWKKgS #OAY2021#daretodream
Pieter Ham wrote an article for the online magazine @tudelft DeltaLinks about his #floatinghomes, and how centuries-old building technologies inspired Finch Floating Homes’ flood-proof housing.

You all did an amazing job @yaskk@PieterHam @Karlheinztondo and Dieuwertje Drexhage! What an inspiring and essential dreams you just shared with us, thank you!
I guess our new Delft Global Student Club will have a busy time handling the enthusiasm of the new @tudelft students...
