    We are about to built a hotel as a straw bale construction.
    Our architect who has built dozens of straw bale houses promised that the houses will last even for future generations.
    We will built it in the Swiss Alps on 4000 feet in the mountains and it still will need no heating.

    @sweetsendaedreamr Yes they can be. Instead of putting on clay or stucco, they can be incased in concrete offering an extremely high shear value. You would of course need to design the venting process correctly so the bales dont rot. Not too hard to do, just requires some forethought.
