Sustainable Construction: Cob Construction, Earthships, Earth Block Homes, Earth Bag Homes

Building Options

Sustainable and green architecture is a fun and innovative method of using  almost ANYTHING as building material. It is a great way for re-purposing waste from the human population, regaining our individual sovereignism by (literally) taking shelter into our own hands, and building beautiful and unique structures. It is also arguably the fastest growing, most affordable, earth friendly and most open source industry in the world right now. Here are some of One Community’s favorite projects, pages, and options we are looking at, and inspired by, as we are designing the 7 Pods that will each showcase a different design and construction method and material.

"In order to change an existing paradigm you do not struggle to try and change the problematic model.

You create a new model and make the old one obsolete. That, in essence, is the higher service to which we are all being called."
