Had to study the photo for a bit to understand what is going on. Does the straw stay non plastered? There is a brick wall within the straw? The straw is "sacrificial." How many years will the straw last before needing replacement? Rain in the "impact crater" always falls straight down and the walls will stay dry?
The shutters on the second floor slide laterally?
How about solar mass? Straw insulates but will it absorb enough heat to radiate it inward during the night.
If the glass is on the south won't it over heat the building during the day, but supply no gentle transmission of stored heat during the night?
Interesting building but I need some help understanding the fine points.
Try this article ... (google "translated")
This video shows some details but the commentary is in czech language.
