| description | Pisé, known as cobwork in English, is a building material which uses rammed earth shaped between two parallel frames called forms. The use of this material in the buildings of the canton of Boën-en-Forez (Loire) was studied during a survey of the architecture of this territory. Where geological conditions were favourable, this material could be used for all sorts of buildings: churches, chateaux, houses, farms and their outbuildings. The oldest surviving examples date from the thirteenth century, although pisé is known to have been used in classical antiquity. The pisé buildings which can be dated show how the use of the material evolved from the sixteenth century to the eighteenth and how this use achieved certain stability around the time of the architect François Cointereaux, writing in 1790. Traditional pisé construction reached technical maturity during the nineteenth century but was abandoned after the 1950s. Contemporary pisé buildings, after 1980, are still inspired by traditional techniques but use mechanical construction processes. |
