[@WisdomNectar_251]

I really appreciate you all the team, You did a gr8 job for our poor community! I wish to look your work in face.

[@denisekieling8657]

Thank You!

[@mgrollins]

The topo/architectural drawings and how they were animated was so great! I really appreciated this documentary, and also the visuals of how wood is used so ineffectually in construction there, and the local trees. Thank you!

[@DE-vr1qs]

Great job. Very helpful explanation on how to make adobe bricks correctly. Thank you for that.

[@solomonktl6]

Awesome. Adobe is a great alternative. Much more environmentally friendly than cement and best for hot weather climates. Its only weakness is water but there is a solution for that.

[@whimpypatrol5503]

Water and cost.

[@solomonktl6]

Interlocking earth bricks are much more better than abobe bricks. We are making an interlocking brick machine for Ethiopia customer

I ponder & wonder if this would work in The Far North of Aroostook County Maine one of the top 5 wettest states while low temperatures can reach Fahrenheit -30°

Did she say over population????? How many people does she recommend for the country???????

thank you for this video

FYI, Adobe brick homes were a tradition in the American southwest (New Mexico & Arizona). The Spaniards who came to America in the 1600s adopted the technique from the Indians adding other elements of their own. In the 1920's the architecture was still popular but eventually went out of favor. After WWII, developers began building crackerbox wood frame houses on a large scale with flat roofs and stucco plastered exterior walls to resemble adobes (called Adobe style, ranch and cracker boxes). During the 1960's mid-century architecture had an impact and Adobe style became stigmatized. But, by the 1980's they become almost priceless possibly thanks to hippies who renovated abandoned ones from times past. Poor man's adobe's built out of wood frames are also again popular but with lots of architectural twists. But real Adobe's cost a lot. Wealthy Californians moving to Arizona and New Mexico can afford architectural Adobe masterpieces and have driven prices into the stratosphere. In parts of Texas, the taxes alone assessed on them have become so high that generational owners of Spainard decent have lost them just to pay off the tax collectors.

I was thinking the cost of adobe or mud brick home would be next to nothing.

[@tomascastroortega5903]

What is the name of the tree from which they obtain the long poles for construction?

[@Troy-Moses]

Adding straw to the mud bricks would significantly add strength and minimise cracking.

Unfortunately a great idea became a square block. From all interesting shapes it could have taken Europeans brings a square mind all the way to Africa once more. Thankfully the hippies do a much beautiful and greater job, without any worker, than any architect with a Bauhaus mind. Having in consideration that the birth of architecture and natural homes is Africa, a square block is quite disappointing.

Whats wrong with a square block

Hey you idiot, native Americans have been building square adobe homes for centuries. That’s not just European.

Lmao like they haven’t been using them for thousands of tears

I want to do a pilot project with this technique in Pakistan. Climate is max 45 and lowest is 5degree ... In major cities mainly. It would be a good learning. Our current methods are ridiculous. Very high priced. Damaging the environment. Not at all ENERGY EFFICIENT. Takes a year to build a decent house. It could be a awareness building technique project to change bad construction habits. I have 3 locations where land is available. More could be arranged. I personally think it could be a boom if it is able to make people think.

[@maydam5406]

Thank sport

[@MijaresDigitalSuperImagenes]

i love this project. the adobes are of pure raw earth? or do they carry cement? thanks

[@eeforest7122]

what camera did you use to film this?

[@denisekieling8657]

Hello Michael! I mainly used an old Nikon 1 J2 and an IPhone 5c for some of the scenes. Some of the footage in the beginning and the end are from 2 other people who used different cameras.

[@manakamohammed2469]

It's like i have seen owl in the roof.

[@raspberryjellydoughnut5727]

You cut the bricks with a grinder apparently it has a name beyond a Machine LoL 😅

[@whimpypatrol5503]

This is lots of labor. (Lots!!!). Adobe houses costs maybe 2X conventional in America. But this may be more from lore, not labor costs, who knows. There are many factors that, in the end, keep adobe houses to costly in America for wide use. Those who can afford them do.

[@bobprickett2223]

I built my own 2000 square foot Adobe house in NM in the late 70’s. I know adobes are supposed to be expensive but in my experience it was cheap and easy. I know land etc has gotten ridiculously expensive but my passive solar Adobe worked like a charm and had total cost with 2.5 acres a well and well of about $45,000. The current owner paid about $250,000 about 25 years ago. The house still looks like it did when we lived there - no settling cracks no signs of age really.

When Israel can grow its own food without any water source, why don't these NGO's teach these people to grow food in the desert as they have abundant water? Make them grow their own food, they will build their own homes.

Yeah they dont show anything about Africa pregression on miserable life of our people they show nothing else.

[@HattieMcDanielonaMoon]

@@MrNdanguza the media always shows a negative image of Africa You should stop complaining and be happy they showed a positive image for once

They went all the way there to do a project. We should be thankful they did something while we never did.

How is her presentation Eurocentric ???
