This is old technology with a lazy twist that may garner interest. Tvo used 
to write about it from time to time. It is similar to ferrocement. Create a 
form, dip towels, burlap, or canvas in a sloppy cement slurry, then lay the 
cloth over the forms. Hard tomorrow. Add insulation, do again. Add final 
mortar/stucco layer with color if desired. Any shape is possible.
