Not as the land beneath your feet but as an alternate building material that makes sense for it’s almost everywhere and it is dirt after all so it is much cheaper. Combine earth’s wonderful insulating properties and the modern amenities of life such as plumbing, pipes and electrical conduits, it works better than more traditional building materials.
The use of earth as building material dates back to ancient times for they are still used in Africa, long hailed to be the birthplace of humanity. Earth is a very good insulator and allows the proper balance of moisture that makes good living. Temperature is also regulated naturally but as said, there’s always the option of modern cooling and heating technologies that can be integrated well with the said natural building material. Rammed earth homes are making a comeback as modern building materials are getting more and more expensive. Their production also causes pollution so the best natural option to our building needs may have been staring at us all this time, under our feet and in our yards.
