Beautiful! Mud and Bamboo are unique building materials. And most environment friendly too. My primary school education took place in Mud Buildings, and I was born and brought up in mud houses in Konkan region.
thanks sir! i've been lucky too to live in a adobe house.
Here the idea was to share a design(a concept) which user will articulate and build themselves. We have traditions where the whole village comes to build the house. community building. Even there is one documentary made by Sumitra Bhave on one such village.
(The idea for this space comes from the patan museum in Nepal. Do see that. Very inspiring restoration!)
I worked on our mud house when I was in primary school... from foundation to roof and later its maintenance, like any other village kid. Community Participation is high on my mind... see the link: http://remidesouza.blogspot.in/2007/01/community-participation.html
