Natural Building Materials
Practical insights from 3 re:build sessions on implementing natural building materials in regenerative villages.
Overview
Natural Building Materials is a fundamental component of regenerative village development. This guide synthesizes knowledge from re:build gatherings to provide practical insights for implementing natural building materials in community projects.
Methods and Approaches
I think that's a good way to and that basically we're creating a new market through differentiation and low cost and kind of introducing factors that aren't even part of what people think about when they buy homes today in terms of natural materials, natural geometry, village building, holistic wellness, that's kind of ultra efficiency in a long life
All you planning to use any sustainable materials with the building method, such as hemp creep by the ceramic or shipping containers
Key Insights
Community education: Remaining funds can support building more communities and nonprofit projects that teach surrounding communities about regenerative materials they can use, permaculture, and related practices, creating positive impact beyond the immediate project.
Regenerative amenities: Regenerative amenities create positive lifestyles for people to live in alignment with their values, including biodegradable products, healing centers, new paradigm education focused on experiential learning, and other regenerative elements that provide the foundation for the model.
Market differentiation: Creating a new market through differentiation and low cost, introducing factors that aren't typically part of home buying decisions today—natural materials, natural geometry, village building, holistic wellness, ultra efficiency, and long life—creates competitive advantages.
Sustainable material options: Planning to use sustainable materials with building methods, such as hemp, bioceramic, or shipping containers, enables regenerative construction approaches.
Examples and Case Studies
And then the rest of the funds go into either building more of these communities and non-profit representative projects so teaching you know the surrounding community about regenerative materials they can use and permaculture and things like that so you can make a positive impact on the project
