The Genesis Project
The Genesis Project, Taunton
The Genesis Project is a £2.5 million further education resource that displays sustainable construction methods and materials.
It demonstrates that traditional construction materials and methods can work in harmony with innovative modern materials and techniques to create resource efficient, climate proofed contemporary buildings. It further demonstrates the integration of ‘natural’ materials into mainstream new-build projects and the integration of energy efficiency measures into traditional buildings.
Natural fibre recyled cotton insulation was used in the project as an environmentally friendly and innovative insulation material.
