THE FIRST CLIENTS THAT WERE SERIOUS ABOUT BUILDING WITH AN ECO FRIENDLY EARTH MOUND FORMING SYSTEM IN HARMONY WITH THE DESERT. CLIENT WITH BULLDOZING EXPERIENCE.

PROJECT ON HOLD
I WOULD LIKE TO BUILD A SMALLER VISION FOR MYSELF.
THE CONCEPT IS TO USE A DIRT MOUNDING FORMING SYSTEM AS THE FORM TO POUR A THE THIN SHELL CONCRETE ROOF. DIGGING OUT THE EARTH MOUND AFTER THE CONCRETE SETS. SOLERI DID THIS WITH CONSANTI. ANOTHER ARCHITECT, BUILT A HUGE CONCERT HALL IN SAN DIEGO THAT USED BULLDOZERS TO MOUND THE DIRT,
I PROPOSING USING CAISSONS FOR SUPPORT COLUNM POINTS. THE REST OF THE WALLS INFILL OF GLASS AND NON BEARING WALLS.
CASA CONGO, NICARAGUA
CASA CONGO DID NOT BUILD THE HYPERBOLIC SYSTEM PROPOSED
INSTEAD THEY BUILD A LARGE RECTANGULAR SHED. THUS I PROPOSED USING THE SHED AND CONSTRUCTION METHODS AS A SPRING POINT TO BUILD OFF OF TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.
A MASTER PLAN WITH BAMBOO STRUCTURES THAT COULD BE ADDED TO AS NEEDED. WATER WASTE PURIFICATION AND INTENSE FOOD PRODUCTION GARDENS INCORPORATED.
UNFORTUNATELY A PUBLIC PROTEST IN NICARAGUA RESULTED IN DEATHS AND FAMILIES LEAVING THE COUNTRY , THUS HAMPERED THE EGO SURFING COMPLEX. BUT THE CASA CONGO GROUP IS STILL IN TACT AND DOING POSITIVE COMMUNITY SERVICES.
