Patricia Boyko has been working with Las Casas de la Selva since 
February of 2008. A traveler, chef, artisan, creator, and scientist, 
she currently researches vines and fungi at Las Casas. She also 
experiments with the potential use of secondary forest products. With
passion for ecology and the land, she is working to develop and 
promote more sustainable building and development practices in Puerto 
Rico, as well as increase infrastructure at the project. She is our 
wonderful logistics coordinator for this event. Puerto Rico residents 
contact: patty.boyko at gmail.com

Participants will learn everything that they need to build 
structurally stable domes using little more than earth from the site. 
The design is a 13 foot catenary dome with two windows and a door. 
Dome building by hand is an ancient art that is still used today in 
many parts of the world.  It is one of the fastest and simplest ways 
to enclose a space, and is ideal for most environments.
