Hello Suoko,

Principle 3: Make optimum use of location and climate conditions. Minimize energy consumption.

If locals's needs-land knowledge are included in the desgin pahse, all these breaking-head questions will be answered to, finally, create housing solutions.

What's your opinion on this?

Interesting idea.

I need soon to build a house is not first time but this time need to be better and easier to build.

I will start a similar open source project where people can contribute with idea on how to build a great house and when I fill finalise the project I will make the plans available to everybody and also I will do detailed video of my construction.

guess we must think of already built houses first and find solutions for them.
