It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog here but I wanted to post a quick update on what I’ve been up to recently. Over the coming months I’ll be participating in some Eco architecture or bio architecture workshops at the Earth Embassy in Yamanashi. Our main goal is to build a 356 day green house based on Earthship technology. These seminars will be run once a month from May until September this year (2009). The location is spectacular and promises to be a fun series of events where you can learn about biotecture technology, meet friends and also learn some Japanese too. The cost of each seminar will be nominal. Dates and details to be confirmed, watch this space. Here are some useful links to help you:
