Abstract :This study thoroughly investigates the use of straw bales as an alternative building material, capitalizing on their natural, eco-friendly, practical, and economical properties. Straw, utilized in construction for centuries, offers environmental and structural benefits, adjusting with sustainability practices. The global adoption of straw bale building emphasizes its advantages in thermal insulation, durability, fire resistance, low embodied energy, and sound insulation. While recognizing these benefits, the study addresses difficulties in moisture management and mold growth, stressing the need for careful consideration during implementation. Thus, this paper aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on straw bale building, offering valuable insights and recommendations for architects seeking sustainable alternatives in the construction industry. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of continuous research and innovation to overcome limitations and enhance the efficiency of straw bale architecture. By fostering a deeper understanding of the problems and opportunities associated with this eco-friendly building method, this paper tries to encourage the building industry to embrace sustainable practices and contribute to a greener future.
