STRAW - thousands of years old to cultural property
in
ecological + economic application
STRAW is as a generic term for dried stems and stalks from - threshed primarily - CEREALS-/ - oil and
fiber-/ including certain leaf and water plants understood. The importance of straw goes back far into the ground connection historical time. Since stem and stack plants the globe wildly overgrown, there is STRAW,
although not in the sense understood today. In its early stage STRAW became as feed of plant-eating animals and also discovered for building nests and caves and used, not only of reptiles and birds.
But
became only by the Homo sapiens, which before approximately 40,000 years as provisionally last stage
of evolution of the people becoming appeared, STRAW in the course of thousands of years to the important,
indispensable CULTURAL PROPERTY. Over the stages collecting tanks and hunters developed human’s agriculture and cattle breeding in the constant search for new food and became established thereby. With the
agriculture the cultivation of wild plants in useful plants began. Grain plants belong reliably to the all first efforts.
Barley, rye, oats, above all wheat was bred successfully grafted / bred.
Finds
remnants of straw show that e.g. in Egypt, near Aswan, before about 17.000 years, barley and STRAW were used and processed. Sure is that before about 10.000 years ago in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq and Syria) of wheat
and barley farming have been economically! The increasing urbanization-related fixed and weather-resistant
Accommodation for humans and animals, climate-balancing walls, roofs were especially needed. STRAW became
the indispensable, most important building material. A straw-handicraft developed and even arts and crafts.
Numerous examples of ornate wicker products, like baskets, bowls, straw hats, mats etc. witness
impressively from this technical skill. As Thatched Roof and as mortar-solidify STRAW experienced an extensive meaning, into the youngest Present continues. STRAW is in practical application on all five continents -
in all Cultures...
STRAW maintained its important position until NOW. The explosively growing cultivation of grain in the entire world gave ever higher straw quantities. STRAW is also today the basis of the
modern agriculture and livestock industry – as a basis of food- care- and preservation. The by far larger portions of STRAW remain to the grounds- nevertheless in the technical sense unused and finally become
under-mixed into soil.
Due to technical progress in the industrial age-related, ran a lot of good insights and experiences into oblivion. STRAW Even as a building material was not excluded and was the last
150 years, more and more pushed into the background. The valuable Knowledge of its physical properties and their usefulness has been largely buried, and will hardly ever used.
Resources-protective
and climatic innocuous raw materials and the growing desire of humans after again more
NATURE, led to a re-orientation on new, or already forgetting natural raw-substances.
It is the creativity of modern enterprises as well as the today's
technological possibilities to thank, the
downstream-growing (regenerating) NATURE STRAW MATERIAL today including as an energy source,
e.g. biologically- power for heating and fuels can be used wisely.
This development is however, still in its early beginning and still is diversified.
STRAW is used also in the industrial age sporadically as building and insulating material, e.g. as straw
ball-
Constructions. But this use is strongly reduced due to high space-volume as well as increased fire susceptibility.
Logically and consistently had to be the development of a solid MATERIAL that the
demands on modern and ecological building materials with the historical experiences and values profitably connect.
The result was a biologically perfect building material with ideal parameters for heat
and sound insulation as well as for simple, faster processing - The TEC SHEET, -
