About this video
Could the soil beneath our feet become part of a shelter? Earthbag building starts with bags filled with local soil, stacked to form walls. Examples of its use range from Nepal to Mexico.
Nader Khalili’s SuperAdobe is one form of earthbag architecture, taught by CalEarth. Earthbag building includes different construction approaches, with the shared idea of using filled bags as part of the structure. Local soil becomes a material to consider in creating shelter.
