Description
NB 200: Natural Building IntensiveJul 20-25 2009, 9:00AM-5:00PM
This course is designed for both first time builders, as well as professional builders and contractors who want to explore building with natural materials. This course focuses on earthen building, offering hands on experience with cob, light straw clay, adobe block, and wattle and daub. Students will learn how to smoothly integrate various natural building materials to create the best possible building solution for each individual situation.
As a complement to the hands-on building portion of the course we include slide shows and discussion sessions about building design and siting, passive solar design, foundations and drainage, natural plasters and earthen floors, roofs, and electric and plumbing for earthen buildings.
There will also be opportunity to gain some skills in simple wood working for those with no or minimal wood working experience.
