When building, many envision a structure with solid, sturdy beams and girders. However, it’s important to note that alternative building methods are available for those seeking a more unique and environmentally friendly approach.

Another method is earthbag construction, which utilizes sacks filled with earth or other materials to create sturdy walls.
