News > Exhibition Grains de Bâtisseurs in Evry till Saturday 13th of June, 2015

Earth is raw material. Since thousands of years, men are using this material for the construction of their houses, also in France. After being put aside for years and replaced by its near cousin concrete since the early fifties, earth is now making its comeback. The ecological, economic, social and cultural advantages of earth start to seduce the modern architects again.

Thanks to many playful and interactive experiences, you will understand how and why it is possible to build with earth. It is time to rediscover what is under your feet….

Let yourself surprise by the material grains and its astonishing capacities. Discover, from geology to architecture, the strange behaviour of the constituents of earth: sand, water and clay.

Place of the exhibition: Centre Commercial Evry 2

Opening hours:

On Wednesday and Saturday from 01.00 p.m. to 07.00 p.m.

On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 04.00 p.m. to 07.00 p.m.
