I have been interested in Earthen Houses for about a decade now, since I became aware of the technology behind Earth Houses. Abode, Rammed Earth, Earth Ships, Straw Bale, Underground houses and Monolithic Domes (not the typical geo-domes) and would love to live in one of these kinds of structures if I had some land to build on.
Back in the late 90's we were trying to set something like this up, a community based mini town, however, we didn't have the funds to finance something this big.
If I had plenty of money one of my ideas was creating an artist based community. A community where artists could create their works of art, whether it was music, painting, sculpting, writing, or other projects based on a common philosophy of connecting with Mother Nature.
I haven't watched all the videos but I certainly will when time permits.
Thanks for posting, greyl

This link has some really interesting structures. This guy builds most of his houses in Mexico but does build else where.
