Alternative Building
EARTHSHIPS are houses made out of waste tires. Dirt is rammed into the tires which are stacked to make the walls. The tires are then stuccoed outside and inside to make a nice finished look.
STRAWBALE houses are made from straw bales stacked on top of each other and stuccoed on the outside and inside. They can be made to look like traditional homes.
