Gagarin Project 400 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Simon Dale talks about his experience with natural building in the UK A brief interview with our friend Simon Dale talking about his experience with truly low cost, low impact natural building with local materials. Apologies for audio quality, we realise the music can be disturbing and that it differs greatly on different audio setups. Unfortunately this cannot be changed. www.ridgedalepermaculture.com much more here http://naturalhomes.org/inspirational-builders.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gagarin Project 400 Report post Posted February 5, 2015 Uploaded on 8 Nov 2011 Growing up in the wild hills of the Pacific Northwest, it seems like SunRay was always building something. His favorite source of inspiration and materials is the woods around him, "God's Hardware Store" as he calls it. When working on a project it is not uncommon to see him pick up a saw and head off into the woods looking for the right piece of wood to present itself. If he says anything, he'll mumble "I'm going shopping." Check out more of SunRay's work here: sunraykelley.com Filmed by Gary Tyler Mcleod & Austin Will Edited by Gary Tyler Mcleod About the "Inspired By..." video series: The Pacific Northwest is overflowing with creatives. Everyone from artists and musicians to engineers and architects call Portland home. Immersed in this culture of thinkers and makers, the team at Shwood is constantly drawing inspiration from the artisans that surround us. The "Inspired By..." video series is intended to share some of Shwood's daily inspiration with others around the globe. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YuriNondual 41 Report post Posted August 24, 2015 I have visited 2 workshops this year. 1 on building with Cob and one on building with strawbales. it's an amazingly inspiring topic, and the crowd it attracts is as open minded as the crowd you can find on psy festivals.
