The three final modules will be constructed and plastered beginning April 19 and finishing May 17, 2000. The structure and design is similar to traditional Greek residential buildings, except in these structures seismically reinforced straw bale walls replace the traditional stone walls. Volunteer to work with experienced U.S. natural material builders and learn about building with load bearing straw bale walls, light clay straw plasters, earthen finish plasters and lime putty weather protecting plasters. Attached are photographs of work from last May. Straw bale walls construction will begin on April 19 and be finished by the end of the week. After the roof is partially completed and the straw bale walls have settled, the exterior and interior walls will be coated with earthen plasters.
Camping is available on site, with three meals a day provided.
