Dear natural and sustainable building Enthusiasts --

We are delighted to announce that we have created a short video of the Builders Without Borders Strawbale Ecohouse project in Washington D.C., which you can view on YouTube!     http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQRMAzW0M6g

FYI, last summer BWB built a demonstration of "America's Traditions of Green Building" including a load-bearing strawbale building, with earthen and lime plasters, plus a bamboo shade structure and adobe and cob arch for an exhibition at the U.S. Botanic Garden on the National Mall. 
Our display stayed up for 10 months, then was transported to a new home in Maryland.  (You can see the Ecohouse where it lives today at Sam and Kappy's house at:  http://www.breathworkstudio.blogspot.com/)

Thanks to a talented summer intern with video editing skills, we were able to create this 10 minute video from over 18 hours of footage.  We wanted to keep it short so it could go on YouTube.  We hope you find it watchable and entertaining. 

Sincerely,
Catherine Wanek & Derek Roff
