That was a great video. I am an Architectural Engineering Historian. And I love doing historic accurate restoration work. - Halo from Reykjavik, Iceland and thank you for sharing this. I thoroughly enjoyed watching!
Thanx 4 sharing. I am about to build my own earthen home, but I was worried about the roof. I really didnt want to use metal or wood, and I had never seen any videos that showed an earthen roof. This is a GREAT "how to" video, and I'm sure after a few viewings I can figure out how to do it myself. Again, THANX! :0)
All the details are exquisitely engineered for optimal efficiency at the lowest cost. This young builder is impressive. Many quick-build shelter videos speak about the lack of affordable housing in the 3rd World but in Western countries there's a crying dearth of housing too. In France wher I live there's a permanent crisis in husing and if people knew how to build with cob or adobe the crisis would let up a bit.
the biggest barriers to building like this is the requirements of building codes that make this type of building impossible to use for residential housing
My uncle is deaf and is a master mason. He learned entirely by watching. No one speaks his language. So, I don't think you need to learn Spanish to learn how to do this. Just be a very careful observer.
Exelente video. Me han inspirado el dia. Tener un hogar así ha sido un sueño y verlo reliazar en este vídeo es un grato sentimiento. Deseo que hasta el día de hoy se sigan construyendo casas tan bonitas y eficientes como esta.
Its really obvious these guys know what they are talking about. I just wish I could understand better what they were saying. I still watched the entire video, and learned a lot- that means they are great teachers, if I could figure out how to build an arch like that without speaking much Spanish!
That would explain why they finished the roof they way they did. Their's is a more arid environment. In my environment, I'm afraid a roof like that would just dissolve down to the plastic water barrier. I'm amazed that they didn't build the vaulting on a temporary wooden form. Some amazing skill there. An inside shot of the ceiling would have been nice.
FELICIDADES: realmente me hicieron ustedes disfrutar viendo este vídeo, es admirable conservar la sabiduría popular, algo de lo que en mi país España estamos perdiendo. Por cierto la casa me pareció preciosa y la bóveda Nubia tan bonita, como desconocida.
Simplemente genial!! me gustaria aprender mas de tu proyecto...sobretodo de adobes y techos verdes alternativos como los que usas!! (estamos en Texcoco)..gracias!!
FELICIDADEZ, LO KE HACEN ES MUY INTERESANTE, DE ESE PUEBLO RECUERDO KE HACEN ARTESANALMENTE LOS OJITOS DE VIDRIO PARA LAS IMAGENES RELIGIOSAS SALUDOS AFECTUOSOS Y CON MUCHA ADMIRACION
Parece algo complicado el recubrimiento del techo, pero creo que valdría la pena intentar una construcción sustentable como esta, felicidades a los realizadores de esta obra de arte, mis respetos amigos!!
Precioso video, muy buena produccion y excelente explicación de todos. Me encantaria hacer una casa asi aqui en Quebec, Canada. A lo mejor un dia me animo.
As primitive as this appears there is really a lot of engineering in this structure. A HUGE amount of thermal mass in the roof, absorbs heat through the day (slowing the penetration of the heat into the house during the day) and releases it throughout the night, the length-wise steps, or grooves, in the roof, give tooth to the cob. pretty neat stuff. Great video, thanks for sharing.
@@godaboveall8344 I'm not sure if this applies to all similar building techniques but I was told by locals during a visit to Aswan, Nubia that their houses were severely damaged by unexpected rain a few years back so had to rebuild the houses with concrete to avoid this happening in the future.
@@a.hammad9194 Thanks for sharing, maybe best to plant the roof in grasses possibly with a waterproof layer not sure if it is possible without that layer
@@godaboveall8344 it's worth mentioning that this sort of architecture is common in the drier parts of Egypt but nonexistent in the rainy north. I'd imagine that's not a coincidence.
A few tips for better stronger and more elasticity and less cracking in your mortar. Boiled rice water hair fiber or synthetic also powdered rice and hydrated or slaked lime. Ancient alchemy 😉
Greeting you from southern part of Thailand . It's great video...especially song .. And certainly ..how to built this kind of building ..great to all . Thank you. I like your video.
Maravilloso trabajo, muchas felicidades, no tenia idea de este tipo de bóveda tipo Nubia, me fascino toda la construcción y cada técnica, y el techo verde esta genial, muchas felicidades a estos magníficos bio constructores, como los puedo contactar aquí en México, su conocimiento y trabajo es muy valioso, me ha interesado mucho, ojalá y me den respuesta, lo agradeceré infinitamente.
Saludos hermanos, excelente video, toda mi gratitud desde el corazón. Estoy investigando alternativas para construir pequeñas escuelas en las zonas rurales, montañosas, en la región donde vivo. Este video me ha parecido maravilloso, y cae como anillo al dedo.
super. me gusto mucho. tengo algunas preguntas si fueran tan ambles de darme la respuesta. los adobes de la bóveda son de barro crudo?, que medida son?. los adobes de los muros veo que son mas grandes, que medida son? y hasta que altura se levantan los muros para después de ahí seguir con la bóveda?. ya terminado la bóveda se pudiera cubrir con mezcla con cemento para impermeabilizar?. hasta que longitud se pude extender lo ancho de la bóveda?.mil gracias. Saludos
Muy Bueno.. Felicidades..me gusta mucho el proyecto, se me hace que es muy termico, solo que les falto que nos enseñaran como queda por dentro, pregunto esto se usa como casa abitacion?
Una pregunta si queremos hacer el techo impermeable por ejemplo en una zona que llueve mucho y no queremos poner plástico en el techo solo hacerlo con materiales naturales, ¿ Se podria impermeabilizar el techo con cal y dejarlo asi ?
Si se hubiese recubierto el techo de cal , ¿ Hubiese sido posible no tener que usar una tela impermeable para el tejado ? O seria posible ponerle tejas para no usar ningun elemento no natural ?
fascinating technique would love to see this built with modern materials that are safe and not destroyed by things like rain. maybe have this construction inside without outer material so you could have the thermal mass of the Earth but then have the protection and strength of modern material but then it wouldn't be free which I think is kind of the point LOL
Wow! such a huge amount of material on the roof. I wonder what would happen if they learned to make light weight materials and use insulation to keep the heat out? Perhaps a reflective white roof and outer walls too?
Ale Ruiz I am well aware of the thermal mass concept in ancient buildings that delays heat transfer by the fact that they use so much material and high ceilings. In the modern world, we have developed the ability to construct homes that far exceed the temperature control achieved in old massive walled and ceilinged structures by using materials more judiciously. Insulation is the simple answer but geothermal pits can be used to supply the thermal mass to extract and store energy.
How ease will be to find insulation in a remote place in a developing country the adobe and soil acts as a mas storage..keeping a uniform temperature inside the building.. have you ever been inside a cave in a hot summer day....
You are talking about thermal inertia and thermal mass as a moderator of temperature. It takes a huge amount of material to do this sort of thing and a lot of human labour. The ideal is to use science and engineering to use the least amount of materials and labour to achieve the best results. This requires that people learn about and understand the concepts of heat transfer and material thermal transmission properties. In other words: learn about insulation and closing windows and doors. In my travels around the world, people in developing nations have a very child like attitude towards heating and cooling; if you stand in front of a fire, you get warm and if you stand in front of an air conditioner, you get cool. The concepts of heating and cooling an entire building are completely foreign to them and they often believe that you need a heating or cooling unit in every room or more. They can't imaging the concept of insulating to keep the heat out or keep it in.
para tener una casa sin pagarla 4 o 5 veces, que es lo que cuesta un credito hipotecario a 30 años, aparte de ahorrar muchisimo en energia para climatizacion.

I have built with tires, earthstyle, and is more weatherproof for higher moisture areas. A good way to recycle tires.

great video
Can anyone make one copy of this with subtitles or is there already one somewhere?
This is some great stuff we want to try this for our structures.

No false work. Interesting.
Nice video!
What these bricks are made from? Were they burned or only dried? Am I right?
Do you use clay as a mortar?
dried only is just thatch,manure and mud
Clay, sand and hey. they are sun dry..Are call adobes. the mortar is clay an little sand and hey mixed....
thank you God bless
Alguien sabe como.contactar con el hombre que estaba enseñando a hacer la construcción ?'gracias
como. puedo pedir informacion de esta obra me gusto.
awesome build wish I knew Spanish
que hermosa tenica
Me interesa Saber mas sobre esta contruccion. el material con que hacen la boveda es adobe solo de tierra,? o es adobe cocido..?
Adobes, solo adobes no cocidos! Osea crudos
@@elgrangadsby muchas gracias Amigo. siempre he querido hacer algo asi.
Genial
Ha ha, Beatles music, elevator style. Was this some sort of sauna? Very good
If you put sub titles in English that would be helpful
I think I followed most of this, but my Spanish is shaky at best. Any plans for sub-titles?
멋지다
Interesting that the music is Kiswahili. Cool.
Barrel vault and nubian vault are not the same thing. The nubian vault is oval, the barrel vault is like a roman arch.

brett knoss The clever use of local resources would allow them to make trusses or other support structures that would be insulated.

Can you please transalte it? I would love to learn everything i couldn't from just vision.
I Love this, but I am in Germany, more rain an water drops in thi earth!
Bueno..... y despues de tan tremendo trabajo.... para que sirve todo eso?
materiales naturales y económicos mi estimado, posiblemente solo mucho trabajo duro.
para tener una casa sin pagarla 4 o 5 veces, que es lo que cuesta un credito hipotecario a 30 años, aparte de ahorrar muchisimo en energia para climatizacion.
Y sobre todo una casa ecologica, y que no necesita mucho gasto de energia para estar confortable en ella...
Una casa ecológica, sin contaminación por cementos, natural habitable, igual a personas felices!
