Builds

• Bryan Cloninger - eco resort
• Musaba in Zambia
• Hello, good day to you. I'm interested in building up an eco-friendly community. I have some land in the country and the small community are all related in some way. I'd like to build up this small town complete with school and community buildings. I don't know exactly all this would take but whatever it is I'd like to move positively forward in an expeditious manner :) my name is Mr. Bey
• Ron Johnson
• Colby
• Jenna - 2 builds
• UFG - 7 houses
• Hey Marcin, nice to hear from you and thanks for the introduction to the open building institute!

This is pretty interesting to me, since eco-friendly (or at least friendlier) construction is pretty much what I do in all my spare time. I checked out a few of your google docs, plus the kickstarter video and it looks really interesting.

Where are your projects going on these days? Maybe I'll get a chance to check one out in person. Are you located in Missouri?

I've actually been planning to write about tiny houses and modular housing for a while - it's a great alternative to what we do now.

In fact, one way to make the story REALLY interesting would be to write a blog post, and seek out a reader who has land and money ready right now to build an OBI house. Then document their progress in creating the home, including costs and experiences.

If you want to talk further in the coming months, just drop me an email @gmail.com, since I use email much more often than Facebook.

thanks and congratulations on your great project! Pete (MMM)

Collab

• Fawaz Rob - Dear Dr. Catarina Mota,

I am really inspired by your speeches and your work. I teach architecture at North South University in Bangladesh. You would think an architecture school in Bangladesh, where 70% of the population are rural, would heavily concentrate on 'sustainable rural' architecture. The truth is far from that. Its heavily influenced by copying mindless western architecture. I have a small research based architecture firm called Bangla Bari. If you would take a look at it, I would really appreciate it. We concentrate on earth and bamboo architecture. www.banglabaribd.com I would be highly interested in forming a partnership with your organization. I feel it can be brilliant for Bangladesh. This is an ever changing country, and we desperately need technical skills to build better dwellings in cost effective way. You can reach me at fawazrob@gmail.com or +8801713131657. If you ever feel giving a video presentation to our architecture students, we would also be honored.

• Nate - Green Roofs - Also, I design, build and grow vegetated green roofs all over the world and have studies aquaponics in great depth. It would be great to connect about how we might be able to collaborate.

Please email me at nate@inhabitect.com

• Rob Stout - CEB design. Maybe Jim Hallock?

Their Green Dragon and Little Dragon air-crete mixers reduce the equipment price from tens of thousands of dollars to several hundred dollars.
