Straw Bale Mud House Weekend
“Friends and guests from all over the world came to our land in late January to help us build a natural straw bale and mud house for Tit Yai, an Issan man who is partially paralyzed. We were fortunate to have teachers from baandin.org and Michel Spann from Holland along with children and teachers from the Sri Sangwan Khon Kaen School for children with disabilities and many local Issan people help us make the house.”
Peter Cowman – The Shelter Maker
“The structures that Cowman helps build are an extension of the humans who he helps to build them. As he says, each of us have boundaries, just like houses. But beyond the physical self, a home should also reflect the intuitions and dreams of its occupants: Cowman calls this invisible architecture. The design process, it is stressed, begins the moment we imagine our ideal; in other words, when we dream. Homes, he says, quoting Jung, are an extension of oneself and one’s desires. But in order to dream effectively, we must first get in touch with our own lives.
Earthbag House 10 – the Hat
“Slide show of the process of putting a ferrocement curved barrel vault on my earthbag house. Annotations and video rendering is a constant thorn in my side. We’ll go with this – you’ll have to pause the video to read most annotations. Original elevator music “the Hat” is by Doctor Dirtbag and The Baby Shakers. Thanks for watching.”
