Hi, Natural builders--<br>
<br>
My family and I will be working, studying and traveling in Europe from
mid July for a year...interested to hear suggestions from this group of
interesting people about interesting natural building sites, people,
places, organic farms, communities and events to visit, opportunities
to give <a href="http://oasisdesign.net/education/index.htm#topic">presentations</a>,
etc. <br>
Research-wise I'm interested in examples of people doing the simplest,
lowest-impact possible systems with the best execution; everything from
transport bikes to water treatment to cob building to sustainability
policy.<br>
<br>
Here's our draft itinerary:<br>
<ul>
<li>London (don't know anyone or anything--interested in staying
downtown, maybe walking in the country)<br>
</li>
<li>Oslo-Bergen-Fjord country (contacts welcome)<br>
</li>
<li><a href="http://www.svanholm.dk/index.php?id=73">Svanholm</a>,
Denmark (got good contacts in DK but more welcome)<br>
</li>
<li><a href="http://directory.ic.org/5657/Lebensgarten_Steyerberg">Lebensgarten
</a>Steyerberg Germany </li>
<li>Switzerland<br>
</li>
<li>Stromboli, Italy</li>
<li>Aquacheta Valle communities, Italy</li>
<li>Cinque Tierra, Italy</li>
<li><a href="http://www.torri-superiore.org/index.php?s=home&p=benvenuto&l=en">Torre
Superiore</a>, Italy</li>
<li><a href="http://www.thatroundhouse.info/matavenero.htm">Matavenero</a>,
Spain</li>
<li>Turkey?</li>
</ul>
I speak Spanish and Danish, and at one point was fluent in German,
Italian and Swiss German.<br>
<br>
Please reply off-list unless you think it will be of general interest,
thanks...if there is interest I'll post a collated list of attractions.
If the "best swimming holes in the world" list gleaned at the Texas
Natural Building Colloquium was any indication, natural builders are
great explorers...<br>
<br>
Yours, <br>
<br>
