calearth.org this film shows how a pile of earth, dug out from the building site, is turned into a small house called Eco- Dome (moon cocoon model), using the Superadobe technology. It documents how professionals and students from many countries training at Cal-Earth Institute built this structure. It is intended for use with materials and tools developed for instruction during the apprenticeship retreat at Cal-Earth. Superadobe technology was first presented by the architect to NASA for lunar habitats, and can build single or clustered homes on earth which are resistant to fire, floods, wind storms and earthquakes.

Wow! Not only is it cost effective, but it offers some protection from the elements. Surely other home owners would give you crap for building a dome shaped house around their neighborhood. Therefore if it were me I'd start my own community homes with those in it. I mean look at the outside and interior - it's friggen awesome! Don't forget to pre-wire the house with coaxial and Ethernet wiring for phone/internet/tv.
how about the structural capacity?can u give me the link about the process of this construction?and how sustainable it is..thank you..coz i was planning to use this building method in my final thesis design.
