Construction from the Ground Up - watch

or use. Rammed earth building saves construction and energy resources,
does not pollute, and will last over one hundred years! Instructors
from the School of Architecture at the University of Arizona show the
step by step process used in building a rammed earth structure. They
also demonstrate the advantages of rammed earth construction, and illustrate
how the structure can represent considerable savings in utility costs
for homeowners. If designed properly, rammed earth homes provide comfortable
indoor temperatures while reducing energy costs.
