Green Building Workshops

The Natural Building School is dedicated to experiential education through building sustainable structures with natural materials.

We conduct hands-on research on natural building methods and materials, testing our own buildings by living in them. Through practical training in natural construction, we help empower ordinary people to build their own houses at moderate cost.
