I've done a little bit of research on sustainable building techniques. Timber framing is one of them, and is often combined with Strawbale, but I don't hear of it being used as structure for Rammed earth. I think it might be the best of both worlds, but I don't really know enough. I live in Southern British Columbia, and there's not much evidence of rammed earth structures around. Anyone know if this is a viable option considering the cold temperatures and heavy snowfall? thanks
