The ESBG 2017 European Strawbale Gathering will take place on June 15th-19th in Venice, Italy. The ESBG in Italy will consist of hands-on-workshops, world-cafe, key-note speakers, presentations, a panel-discussion “from the field to build”, an exhibition place for companies, free time for connection and networking, an Award Competition (architects/planners/designers are invited to design a simple, affordable one-room 50 m2-straw bale house), and tours of strawbale houses.
The ESBG will also be open to Italian builders, professionals and non-skilled participants. The goal is 1000 buildings for 1000 towns (which means 3% of the building market in Italy). Last year 100 strawbale buildings were built in Italy, but this amount should multiply in the future.
