Natural Building Design

Sunday, October 22nd, 2017 @ Manzanita School

This lecture will give you an in-depth introduction to natural building, and answer the questions what is natural building, where does it come from, why is it so important, and how to become more involved. Sasha Rabin, of Quail Springs Permaculture and Earthen Shelter, has been building and teaching for over 15 years, with a focus on "cob" and earthen plasters. Rabin will introduce many styles of natural building from around the world, where most people today still live in earthen structures. Join us as we discuss how more of us in this heavily industrialized built environment can consider a shift back to non-toxic, locally-appropriate building styles.
