Natural Building

Natural Building

Definition

noun

The practice of constructing homes using minimally processed, locally available, and ecologically sound materials.

Interpretation

To build as the forest builds โ€” with what is near, what is needed, and what can return to the Earth. Natural building is not just construction; it is conversation with place. It is structure shaped by care, not conquest.

Living Invitation

Find a natural material around you โ€” wood, clay, stone, straw. What kind of shelter could it offer? What kind of story does it hold?
