EARTHBAG DOME CONSTRUCTION Sept 19 - Oct 1, 2010

Come to participate in a series of "Green Workshops" in the beautiful Caribbean island of Puerto Rico (USA). Scott Howard of Earthen Hand (Oregon) and Omar Collazo of The I.S.L.A. Project (Puerto Rico) join forces to provide a series of workshops focused on sustainable techniques for a greener, healthier and more fulfilling life.

The workshops consist in the building of a Super-adobe house designed by Omar Collazo called the "Sun House" ("La Casa Sol") because of its shape and functionality. We will cover all details from design to finishes. The workshops will also include topics on home organic farming and other sustainable techniques based in the principles of permaculture and tropical naturalism.
