BASEhabitat invites to guest lecture by Vorasiri de Cadenet.

The research collaboration in Nakhon Ratchasima with Suranaree University of Technology (Institute of Engineering), Thailand began in October 2023. Researchers from the BASEhabitat team traveled to Thailand to kick off the project.
Together we analyzed the carbon footprint of a building of the BASEhabitat BAAN DOI project in Northern Thailand. The guesthouse has been mainly built with renewable and local materials such as bamboo and clay. It was built by our PhD students in 2022 for the NGO Baan Doi.
At SUT's facilities, samples of bamboo and adobe were tested, to demonstrate their potential and promote their use. Vorasiri de Cadenet is one of the researchers at SUT and will present the analysis and the results.

Vorasiri deCadenet is professor at the School of Environmental Engineering, Suaranaree University of Technology (SUT) in Thailand. During her visit at Kunstuniversität Linz she is going to present the research methodology and the results of the analysis.
The project is the result of an ASEA-UNINET Cooperation between University of Arts Linz, diearchitektur, BASEhabitat and Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) Thailand, Institute of Engineering,, School of Environmental Engineering.
