The beauty of the earthbag technology lies not just in its low cost, but in its freedom of form.


The use of soil-filled sacks (earthbags) for construction has received growing interest as a natural alternative building technique. Earthbags are textile or plastic casings packed with soil, and sometimes sand or gravel, used to construct foundations, walls, and domes. The technique is essentially a flexible form variation of rammed earth construction.


Earthbag construction is one of the most inexpensive building methods on the planet. It uses locally available site soil and common sacks. The technique requires few skills, is significantly faster than earth building methods such as adobe or cob, and unlike equipement-intensive modern rammed earth, requires few tools other than a shovel.

Plastic Architecture/Lime and Flintwork.

Linking built surfaces to the aesthetic experience of place.

Asperity, in materials science, is defined as unevenness of surface, roughness, ruggedness, that can create frictional interactions between the relationships of materials. 


Site is a temporal undoing of place.

John Cowper Powys.

A Philosophy Of Solitude.



Reading Powys one finds no belief, no system of dogmas or doctrines, just an insight gathered from experience.


He  is a walking philosopher, who develops his thoughts on the character of solitude, the walker formulates his words out of an inner heuristic development. A preparation in order to be able to relate to other people. 


A Field Guide to Getting Lost.

Rebecca Solnit.


The wonderlust of learning for profound and complex inquiry.


The creative, hopeful philosophy of emotions that colour, illuminate our worlds.
