Crete, Greece - Paleokastro - AtlasVisual
Crete Video Map:
Located on the northeast coast of Crete, near Paleokastro, are the ruins of a settlement that flourished during the Late Minoan period (1550-1220 BC). Also at the site there are some cemeteries excavated that date to the Early and Middle Minoan periods (3000 -- 1550 BC). The ruins consist of streets of the settlement, houses and even a sophisticated drainage system. The village once covered an area of more than 50,000 m². The well-known Paleokastro Koura, a gold and ivory statue, was found here and is currently on display at the Sitia Museum.

Start: Friday, 27th of March, 12:00,
End: Tuesday, 31st of March, 17:00
Trainers: Herbert Gruber (asbn - austrian strawbale network),
Marta Rakowska & Manolis Ximeris (Minoeco)

Program: Straw Bale Techniques (Infill), Wrapping (thermal insulation with straw), building physics, lime- and clayplaster, Cob, Tadelakt (Maroccan technique), refurbishing concrete and stone-walls, bottle-walls, wooden construction (hybrid and loadbearing).
You will learn how to refurbish and restore existing (poorly or non-insulated) buildings and how to convert them into cozy, sustainable and healthy living spaces, warm in winter (insulation) and cool in summer (thermal mass) and how to save energy and money in this building process and for the future.
For this project we selected a place near Heraklion in Crete, Gabriellas Garden in Paleokastro, 200 m from the beach, a guesthouse built in the '70s with concrete and stone and will convert two bedrooms including bathrooms into natural and sustainable healthy appartments.
Join our workshop and enjoy sun and spring in Crete at the end of March 2015, before the (catholic) Easter holidays.
