This is a new course I am excited to be part of! Classes are taught by 12 people; builders, designers, scientists and teachers each who cover one type of building system. These Masterminds have also written technical standards for the use of alternative materials and been instrumental in getting them into the building codes.
The course comprises 10 classes on individual wall systems from cob to rammed earth to strawbale and hempcrete. A bonus class on nature-based solutions serves as an introduction to the systems that make these types of structures come alive and nurture their residents.
Classes by renowned natural builder and designer, Sigi Koko, cover the big picture including climate, building envelope, thermal mass vs. insulation and passive solar design.
A follow-along workbook helps students identify their motivations for embarking on their projects and prompts them to identify the solution(s) that will address their needs. A supportive online community is embedded in the course where students can learn from each other, connect, encourage, assist, refer, and discover new techniques. Live sessions with the Masterminds address challenges and new possibilities while also serving as a forum for lively discussion and Q&A. You will have access to all the online content for life.
