| This fall an experienced Earthship crew will be starting construction on a public Earthship education facility/tea house in Zwolle, Netherlands. The project consists of enclosing the structural shell of the building; tire walls, roof beams, insulation, greenhouse framing, and glazing. The water and power systems will also be installed enabling the project owners to utilize solar power and the water caught on site for further construction purposes. Gray water planters will be constructed, interior walls will be built, and, with time permitting, finishes will be completed. | {gallery}earthships/holland:400:300:1{/gallery} |
In an effort to spread knowledge and skills about Earthships globally, Earthship Biotecture will be hosting a training program as part of this build. We will be offering the opportunity to work alongside our Earthship Commando Crew for five weeks of this project. As part of the training participants will receive an introductory lecture and slideshow about Earthships and the specifics of the Dutch project. Each day participants will have the opportunity to learn and assist in construction methods which are specific to Earthship building; such as pounding tires to form a thermal mass wall, building nonstructural walls with bottles and cans, and mixing and applying earthen plaster as well as many other aspects of construction. Due to the timeline of the project each weekly session will be involved with a different part of the build and participants may not get to experience all aspects mentioned above.

We are looking for people with a willingness to work hard, an interest in sustainable building techniques and the desire to apply the knowledge gained to future projects.
