Thanks for viewing the slide show. The Eco-Dome DVD from Cal-Earth is instructive. It is possible to learn how to build from this movie and also Earthbag Building by Kaki Hunter and Donie Kiffmyer. Cal-Earth also has a book called Emergency Sand Bag shelters which is good for challenging building codes. My partner and I teach this technique in 5-10 day workshops.
why did they not build an arch as a doorway, i mean they cut out a big square for the door and put in plywood hurray and it would have made the structure more strong
what kinda money would you be looking at to build one of these? two main domes each with four of the little rooms attached.? in uk pound sterling? thanks
The main dome diameter is 16 ft, the two bedroom domes are 14 ft, and the bathroom domes are 10ft. I put up this video, took most of the pictures, and was an apprentice on the project. Check out our newest video at guiding star creations channel. Neil Decker
The man that designed these structures Was an Architect of Iranian descent. He uses readily available sand dirt to build the structures. They are so strong NASA proposed they take these bags to the moon or Mars since the bags are so light compared to bring all your building g materials. Makes sense with the cost of transporting materials you might just want to use readily available materials. It is a no brainier. These homes could last hundreds of years main cost labor.
Hmm...It looks like a SEA SHELL!!! :D The house had a kind of "spiral" effect to the domes and since its next to the water it just adds to the effect...I want to build one of these homes so badly!
E o acabamento???!! fiquei esperando até o final do vídeo... puts... de ter ficado uma bosta!!

If they build more of those dwellings and take up the entire hillside and paint all the building white It will look much like Greek Island Santorini!
