Waterproofing protects your structure and the assets within it against damaging moisture, humidity, and floods. Although waterproofing systems account for a small fraction of the cost of an overall building project, if the wrong solution is chosen or it’s installed improperly, the costs of remediation can be tremendous. .

Most of each day will be spent practicing a wide range of hands-on natural building systems, some ancient and time-tested, others experimental. This workshop teaches a wide variety of techniques that you can choose depending on your climate and local material availability. All of the dimensional wood was milled and pond-cured on site.

The Strawtegi CO2ttage broke ground in October, 2021, as the first permitted structure in the U.S. These materials sequester atmospheric carbon within the structure, safely locking it in for the life cycle of the building, which could be 100 years or more. insulated with dense-packed chopped straw.

Doni and Kaki (as many of us know them) came to earthbag building via a workshop with Nader Khalili of The California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture, who is the father of modern earthbag works; he calls the technique Super Adobe. Ultimately, the bags themselves are not considered to be structural…only the solid adobe within them.

Adobe buildings have thick walls for structural integrity, and the earthen bricks can keep the interior cool. It no longer had workable plumbing or an electrical system—it was just a shell. Adobe is the humblest of building materials, for which earth, straw, and water are formed into bricks and then dried in the sun.
