Natural materials of Ústí University. Withdrawal of laborious digging and procession of local raw materials and preferred utilization of recycled puddle from original buildings. Utilization of new unburnt bricks directly from brick factory, and clay from glass sand flotation. Addition of organic components (straw, chaff) from own resources and tests with calf hair from a supplier from Germany.
