Well clay / soil is a very interesting building material, but it is also not renewable material / growing material. Or at least it takes very long time for the nature to produce it, I guess. When you dig it up, it doesn't renew itself - but in the end you can put it back, so to speak. But what I want to say is that you cannot allways use the soil, directly from your building site. Either the material is not good enough (does not have any or not enough clay) or there is not enough soil for the whole building. So if you want to build all buildings in the World this way, you end up digging big holes, just as the excavation for gravel for concrete. So it is interesting, but not in really large scale.
Thanks for dropping the video! Longest 2 weeks of my life.
Brilliant material - superb video!
Wow! Very interesting!
