[GBlist] Fwd: visiting rammed-earth bldgs

[Ethan Goldman <ethan@buildinggreen.com>]

>Dear Green Builders,
>
>The Durham Friends Meeting design committee is seriously considering
>rammed-earth for our new meeting house. Members of the committee are
>traveling all over the country this summer and would like to visit
>rammed-earth buildings in the places they visit. Is there a directory
>with contact information of rammed-earth structures they could visit?
>
>If not, please send me any that you know of. The more specific
>information the better (ie people to contact with phone numbers,
>driving directions, information about the buildings). I will put this
>information together in a pamphlet to give to members of the
>committee. If it would be useful, I could also make a web link to the
>pamphlet at some point. So, the more information I get, the better.
>
>In particular, we are interested in sites within a 5 hour driving
>radius of Durham, N.C.. I know there are structures in South Carolina
>and Washington D.C.. In an article I just saw, it said there were
>rammed-earth buildings in North Carolina and Virginia. If there is
>one in North Carolina, the building code officials sure don't know
>about it.
>
>Please help us find these buildings.
>
>Thanks!
>
>Airlie S. Rose
(Durham Friends Meeting Design Committee)
