They say the earth buildings are dangerous, but this man, Nader Khalili seems to have resolved most the problems associated with earth buildings. I love his work, and would love a home like those he advocates.

I just found he passed away .....may he rest in peace
Just another reminder to not put things off, I always wanted to go to visit the institute he founded.....while and meet him. Alas, that is not possible now, although it is possible to visit the institute.

I always marvel at how during some earthquakes, all is demolished except the dome shaped buildings.
In any case, so sad for these people. Hopefully, the survivors will get what they need for a timely recovery.
BTW...I like the dome shaped homes.
