Natural Building includes a variety of building techniques that focus on creating sustainable buildings which minimize their negative ecological impact. Natural Buildings often rely on non-industrial, minimally processed, locally available, and renewable materials and can also utilize recycled or salvaged materials.<\/p>\n

Some questions that will no longer remain questions after this workshop include :
\n\u2013 What are natural buildings, different popular techniques of natural building?
\n\u2013 Which one would be right for me?
\n\u2013 Advantages and limitations of each technique like Cob, Earthbag, Stone, Bamboo, Wattle and Daub, Rammed Earth, Strawbale\u2026
\n\u2013 What if I live in a high rainfall area or snow or the desert?
\n\u2013 How much does it cost? What if my budget is very little?
\n\u2013 Do I need to be an architect or hire one? Will Geeli Mitti build it for me?
\n\u2013 Can I use the soil at my place to build?
\n\u2013 How do I test soil at my land and use it?
\n\u2013 Where should I build on my land?<\/p>\n
