I heard on NPR on Saturday, that a South African architectural firm, MMM, was named the winner of the inaugural Curry Stone Design Prize at the IdeaFestival in Louisville.
The MMM design uses sandbags in a similar way as Nader Khalili, except timber frames are used for stability. Here are some pictures of one of their projects, dating back to February, 2008:
