permaculture

["scrooge McDuck" <declan@planetmail.net>]

While we're laying down URLs and references, there's a "Simple Survival" Android & iPhone app that details the philosophy with downloadable plans, views & photos to get you going. The App costs money (unusual for Android) but it's still worth it. I paid US$11.32. They advertise it as 'Earthship Biotecture.'

The 40 photos are good and show the variety. The guy (Michael Reynolds) is an architect and came up with good concepts.

So nobody on this list has one? I thought there would be several. Surely Earthships dovetail with Permaculture?

I like this one, deset right up to the atrium windows:


​
This interesting one in Haiti suggests a mid Eastern water storage cistern
that also cools aer circulated within adjoining house by way of a wind
tower:


​
Actually this may be a water tank/cistern. The domed roof distributes
rainfall into the concrete gutter rim around the structure and into the
tank.
I am not sure what purpose the building with the perforated wall serves
unless it is for cooling;maybe there is a spring in there for cooling food
or drink.
There are lots of good eco engineering possibilities with structures like
this, idea for hot, dry climates.

ShotCrete or FerroCement can be used to build any of these buildings.
FerroCement = steel rebar-reinforced high strength/highly waterproof
concrete sprayed or trowled on to the wire and rebar mesh. This a really
good building technique.
