Building With Non-Recyclable Cardboard Bales. When we first saw Rich Messer and Ann Dowden’s home built using bales made from laundry detergent boxes (which can’t be recycled because they’re coated in wax), set on a foundation made from bales of postconsumer PVC trash (toys, laundry baskets, shampoo bottles) we thought it was brilliant.

Building With Non-Recyclable Cardboard Bales

Through the years, that snug little house—which looks just like a straw bale—has remained one of my favorites. I love to see people’s reactions when they realize the house is made from garbage. It seems so logical—such a natural use of an abundant unnatural resource. Yet the idea is just now starting to catch on. A team of Auburn University students has built a student housing apartment using a similar method, which they call Curocon (corrugated construction).

The sky is the limit: human powered cranes and lifting devices

For quite a few construction projects in ancient history, this type of crane would be completely inadequate. The majority of stones that make up the almost 140 discovered Egyptian pyramids have a weight of "only" 2 to 3 tonnes each, but all of these structures (built between 2750 and 1500 BC) also hold stone blocks weighing 50 tonnes, sometimes more.

From PESWiki Page first featured January 14, 2010 "The Walipini utilizes nature’s resources to provide a warm, stable, well-lit environment for year-round vegetable production. Locating the growing area 6’- 8’ underground and capturing and storing daytime solar radiation are the most important principles in building a successful Walipini.

" [1] A directory of resources pertaining to the Walipini underground greenhouse mothod developed by the Benson Institute in Provo Utah. One of the main principles involves embedding the greenhouse in the earth to take advantage of the earth's constant temperature, to store the solar energy collected during the day. The solar gain comes through a light-permeable material such as plastic, Visqueen, polycarbinate. The word "Walipini" comes from the Aymara Indian language and means "place of warmth".

The Walipini was first developed more than 20 years ago; deployed in South and Central America. Official Website Videos The Power Hour, Jan. 15, 2010 Photo Gallery.

Arte y Artesanía Andaluza. Natural materials. Materiales utilizados en viviendas tradicionales. Los materiales siempre han estado ligados al aprovechamiento de elementos localizados en la misma zona. La piedra caliza ha sido el material base en todas las construcciones por la facilidad de obtención, resistencia y durabilidad.

Esta tipología característica tiene su origen en la prehistoria ya que se utilizaba para proteger la entrada de las cuevas donde se refugiaban, dando lugar así, a las primeras formas de arquitectura de piedra donde la estética, el arte o el estilo no contaba, porque sólo se buscaba lo práctico. Piedra para refuerzo de cuevas esquinera Piedra y argamasa para muros Piedra de toba como Más recientemente las piedras se acarreaban con “pedreras”, piezas de madera que se colocaban sobre caballerías (burros o mulos). Las piedras se recogían por los alrededores, caminos o canteras, transportándolas hasta la zona de construcción. El barro o arcilla también ha sido tradicionalmente un material utilizado para la unión o “casamiento” de las piedras. Biomimicry Institute - Home. The Biomimicry 3.8 Institute is a not-for-profit organization that promotes the study and imitation of nature’s remarkably efficient designs, bringing together scientists, engineers, architects and innovators of all ages who can use those models to create sustainable technologies.

The Institute was founded in 2006 by science writer and consultant Janine Benyus in response to overwhelming interest in the subject following the publication of her book, Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. See Janine’s TED Talk video for her groundbreaking introduction to biomimicry.

A Recommended Cob and Natural Building Book List. There are a few books that I referenced and relied on throughout the process of building my cob house.

I’ve come up with a short list of books for aspiring cob builders to get inspired and get set on the path to actual construction of a small cob house similar to my own. Check them out! Cob building - when clay isn't clay (green building forum at permies) LOL - the idea of a "cob expert" telling you, "They should have sent a sample off to a lab to be sure. " They might, however, recommend building something small as a test case. Make a few bricks. Make an earthen oven, garden wall, or chicken-house. Adjust the mix to suit local soils. Let it dry out, thump it a bit, and see how it does. Cob is like baking bread: the secret to a consistent loaf is knowing when to adjust the recipe. BIO-PLASTIC HANKBOOK 2011.
