CANNATEKTUM, created by the German architect Dr. Monika Brümmer, designs and directs works of ecological and bioclimatic architecture, restoration of vernacular architecture and rehabilitation of troglodyte dwellings. Cannatektum architects, from different generations, cover both: materials science and new design tools.
Before dominating the denatured materials in our environment, such as reinforced concrete, synthetic insulators and chemical varnishes etc., there were impressive examples of construction with nature. We want to recover these techniques and reinterpret them towards a contemporary architecture, respectful of the traditional, expanding horizons with those current technologies that are compatible with a healthy, habitable and respectful home and the future of the planet.
Following her final career project (HdK Berlin 1995/1996), dedicated at a very early time to building with hemp, Monika Brümmer designed the CANNABRIC hemp block, which she manufactures in the province of Granada (Spain) since 1999.
Apart from practicing and promoting (since 1999) and researching (since 2011) hemp construction, CANNATEKTUM supplies a wide range of carefully selected ecological and historical materials suitable for new construction, rehabilitation and the valuation of vernacular heritage.
CANNATEKTUM also does consultancy, training and conferences related to these technologies at European and intercontinental level. In 2011 the company hosted the second International Hemp Building Congress, organized by IHBA.
We welcome the photos received from developers, architects and builders who have trusted our materials on one or more occasions. Some of their results appear in "client projects " while some Cannatektum works in "own projects ".
