Will the house collapse is what I’m wondering
- tinco 3y agoWhy would they make bricks out of seaweed if they thought the house would collapse?
- natpalmer1776 3y agoWhy would someone build an MVP for a product that has no clear or viable path to monetization? Because someone wants the product to exist enough that they're willing to give you money to make it happen.
- jncfhnb 3y agoBecause someone will buy it. Hence regulations. But that’s the question. The question is has it been tested to be surely safe.
- hadlock 3y agoThe Bible describes Egyptians making bricks from mud and straw. In europe and the US it's referred to as "cobb" which if you plug that word in to youtube is a deep rabbit hole of building sturdy and sustainable homes for cheap, even today. You need thicker walls (about triple) than what you might see in a lightweight modern home made by 2x4s and drywall, but the lower cost of materials (and much lower cost of labor) offsets this. The incredible thermal mass of the walls also helps to regulate internal temperature during the daytime. But to answer your question, typically no they do not collapse unless the roof goes without any maintenance, which is unlikely in a tropical region.
