We have almost completed a draft of Chapter 2, a “how to” guide on building a small load-bearing strawbale house. It is primarily focused on seismically active regions of the developing world, but could have broader application as well.

A few members of the GSBN are already reviewers (Mark Aschheim, Darcey Donovan, Derek Roff, possibly Kelly Lerner) (Andy Mueller gave a focused review on earthen plasters).  Chapters 1 (Introduction to SB Construction) and Chapter 3 (Engineering Principles) have already been reviewed.

All of you are experts in strawbale construction.  We’re especially interested in individuals with experience designing and building in developing countries (not necessarily strawbale), and who live and practice outside the US (though I won’t exclude my fellow Americans).
