In collaboration with the Thame Sherpa Heritage Fund, the Monks Dormitory project combines traditional stonework with a novel, lightweight structural framework. Developed with the ETH Chair of Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering and local contractors, the framework improves seismic resilience, reduces reliance on costly imported cement, and addresses the five most common earthquake structural failures. The project utilizes an open-learning construction site for documentation and dissemination of these methods, targeting the estimated 90% of homes destroyed by the 2015 earthquake.
