Four "superadobe" domes have gone up at a primary school in Hounslow, under the flight path for Heathrow's southern runway, and two other schools in the area plan to build similar structures. Constructed from coiled bags of earth with white plaster walls, the domes reduce the roar from incoming aeroplanes by 17 decibels for pupils inside. Needless to say, the proposal to expand the airport hasn't been met with alot of enthusiasm from the local population. By min | April 23, 2013, 8:07 AM | Ummm... Other? |
