A construction technique where walls are built with cob (a mixture of clay, straw, and gravel) or structures made from cob material.
From 'cob' (a lump or rounded mass, from Old English origins meaning a mass or lump) plus 'work' (construction or craftsmanship). Cob building is an ancient method documented since medieval times.
Cob buildings in Devon and Dorset, England are still standing after 500+ years and prove ancient builders knew climate science—the thick clay walls naturally regulate temperature and humidity, something modern insulation tries to replicate!
