Earthbag Homes of the World
There has been a resurgence in earthbag building since the late Nader Khalili began experimenting with bags of adobe soil as building blocks for creating domes, vaults and arches. Now the whole field has expanded considerably with further experimentation by his students like Paulina Wojciechowska and Kelly Hart http://naturalhomes.org/show/earthbag/getslide.htm

A low impact woodland home
You are looking at pictures of a house I built for our family in Wales. It was built by myself and my father in law with help from passers by and visiting friends. 4 months after starting we were moved in and cosy. I estimate 1000-1500 man hours and £3000 put in to this point. Not really so much in house buying terms (roughly £60/sq m excluding labour) - http://www.simondale.net/house/index.htm
Arquitecto californiano projecta moradia de 73 euros para países do terceiro mundo

O objectivo seria resolver um problema às 2.500 milhões de pessoas que não têm acesso a uma habitação condigna.http://greensavers.sapo.pt/2011/09/21/arquitecto-californiano-projecta-moradia-de-73-euros-para-paises-do-terceiro-mundo/
