Templates for Sustainability

The Template for a community building where people can get together and learn about sustaibility, nature, and Green Jobs...Its easy to construct with some friends (and some shovels) and rather affordable (under $3,000 if you have volunteer labor).
Using bamboo pole construction with modern lashing makes teh structure easy to get started.  Creating mud brick through excavation and building forms with plywood means good insulation and easy footers for the poles, which can be taken down easily.  Roofing can bemade from local and natural materials, and the 8 foot panel design on the sides allows for modern or traditional applications.
