    As a family we have built many houses and structures with COB and Straw Bale. I thought that this was a great video on the community aspect of building with COB. Not so fond of the oversized straw bale house built with conventional construction but I understand their idea of taking baby steps to converting the building code inspectors. Hope you enjoy watching!

    This is another site for Bio-design. The site isn't that great, but the concepts are amazing. Earthships  are fully integrated designed buildings which are like self sustaining units of living. Check it out.

    Biotecture at its best! Green Buildings which can be constructed in any part of the world and designed to meet and exceed existing building codes. Earthships provide electricity, potable water, contained sewage treatment and sustainable food production for every building.
