Gustavo Guzman on Earth Building

Hi, my name is Gustavo Guzman and I would like to Contribute an innovative idea which I believe can be fundamental by using the CEB technology to build a house that has the next characteristics:


 * 1) Can be built anywhere in the world.
 * 2) Can be built by unskilled workers.
 * 3) Is Hurricane, earthquake and flood resistant.
 * 4) Easily duplicable and expandable.
 * 5) A Group of 5-10 people should be able to build with minimal or in some cases no money.
 * 6) Main wall structures can be built with earth alone. No need for wood, metal, plastics or other materials. Therefore it can also be used to quickly build shelters for displaced and homeless people around the world.

There are many more points I can make but in essence this method can produce the most inexpensive, strongest, easily accessible, fast building, non polluting, long lasting, aesthetically pleasing, comfortable, spacious home.

I believe a 2-3 bedroom house structure can be built in 2 days with 3 machines and 15 people and shelters within Hours. I know these claim may sounds too good to be true but I have been researching and studying Earth building methods for a while and recently had a proverbial light bulb event in my life where I figured how to combine different proven methods of earth building where we can achieve what I just described. I am 99.99% positive that this idea will work in the manner I just outlined and would love to share it with you and hopefully make it a reality soon.

I eagerly await your reply and hope this contact will be the first in a long harmonious relationship between my and your future EcoVillages
 * -) which by the way I have been planning to build in Ensenada Baja

California for about 4 years and 2011 is the year I had chosen to begin building.
