In today's podcast, Simon Gonzalez, a third-generation natural builder, discusses the global potential of natural building using materials like cob and adobe. He introduces the concept of "outposts" for showcasing the potential of these often ancient techniques, emphasises regional education, and addresses logistical challenges in today’s world, including legal obstacles. Simon dispels myths about the resilience of natural materials, explores practical applications in urban settings, and promotes a sustainable, pod-style approach to building.
