Super Adobe Structures

          The idea and the central structures of this community will be based on the technology of Super Adobes as developed by CalEarth. I have posted many times in the post on face book and my other blog on Druidry about this form of building.

          The important part about Super Adobe structures is they are amazingly strong, credibly durable, super cheat and easy to build, and they are very Eco friendly and efficient.

          This types of homes are amazing. They are constructed using packing bags, dirt from the location, soil stabilizers, and bared wire. Once the soil sets up they can be water proofed so that they can be build in any climate. They become wind, flood, fire, hurricane and earth quake resistant.

          Because they are built out of the earth they are sustainable... and when they do finally break out (in a hundred years +) they just become part of the earth again. Their walls are 1.5-2 feet thick so they provide their own thermal and sound insulation. This also creates a nature passive heating and cooling.

          With all the factors in place, Super Adobes make an ideal structure for this kind of community. They can also be built by the members of the community in as little as 10 weeks (this allows for curing times, etc). Construction methods are easy and can be done by most people. Most of the structures for the community can and will be built through this method, either dome or more tradition square style buildings.

        

          Besides the home structures there will be several community structures which will serve multiple functions such as dining/meeting hall for the community counsel, community kitchen for things like canning of foods, community library, crafting studios for those creating items for the community and for sell, for the study of magic and trance work. These will be in a 'long house' style that CalEarth has developed.
