A house from the dirt

This group is making homes out of dirt.  They fill long bags with dirt and stack them to make a home shape.

They remind me of the creampuff house in Austin.  This method was recommended as a way to build on other planets. We could be living under the dirt of Mars!  It has actually been used to build emergency and safety shelters after natural disasters, but they can look pretty nice.  I bet they stay cool in the summer too, it's the same as living underground.   Check out this article to see more pictures and read more about the project.
