[GSBN] Fwd: strawbale in Brazil

[Joyce Coppinger]

Rikki,

I went to the site but I couldn¹t find any photos or illustrations of
straw-bale buildings or any other types of ³biobuildings² that he/they had
done. Maybe people would respond to your nomination if we could see/read a
bit more about the design and construction of buildings done.
