Reed

The following samples have been made in thoughts of using local materials, having in mind the possibilities of the future, when usable materials could be only taken from our own surroundings. In this experiment the main focus was reed. As known, has reed been already used as a valuable building material in Estonian history, used mostly in the construction of roofs. Though, with the development of new building materials, has it by now lost it's usage. The following experiments could therefore be thoughts for implementing it for new purposes, trying to find ways to fit it with the needs of the modern world.
