"Better living through simplicity."
Compressed Earth Block (CEB) Vault Home - Immersion Workshop
I am very impressed by the content of the "Small House Society". Especially since Factor e Farm is also concerned with affordable, sustainable, healthy housing and we are doing something about it! I wish more people would take more than an interest in this, it will take lots of hands-on action to really make a dent in the existing systems.
I actually live in Klagenfurt, Austria but have joined forces with Marcin Jakubowski at Factor e Farm in Missouri to build a wonderful structure right here on the farm. I had taken an earth brick building course at the University of Kassel, Germany under the direction of Prof. Gernot Minke (the Pope of earth brick building). The actual trainer for the course was Dittmar Hecken, a former student of Prof. Minke. I was able to convince him to come out to Factor e Farm and run this workshop for us at the end of September.
Below is a short description and invitation to this workshop. I hope you will also be able to include this invitation on your website and in the next newsletter you send out to your friends and members, it would be a tremendous help to us.
Thanks in advance for your support!
Kind regards,

In this immersion workshop, you will be building a beautiful vault-roof structure with a living roof and solar design. We are using local soil and roof from this same soil, and aim to complete one structure. Learn the techniques for this building, and if you are curious, you have a rare chance to learn about building the brick press and tractor themselves. We are using equipment that we designed, built, and open-sourced. We are developing open source technology - because it's good for the world. Do you want to live right but you are cash-poor? We are building the tools and techniques that can help you. Join us.
