Hi
I regret so much I was out of San Jose when this exhibit happened. For the last 2 years I have been searching for a workshop in Costa Rica to learn more on earthbag techniques to apply in an unfinished project I need support in order to finish it. I am interested in following up on this event: do you know of any local persons in Costa Rica interested in applying this technique or other earthbag models? Thanks much for any useful contacts obtained before, during or after the exhibit. Cheers, Paulina
There is a project featured on our Projects page that is in Costa Rica: La Casa de Tierra
No, I don’t know of any specific earthabg projects in Costa Rica. I have been in contact with a variety of people who are either building, or want to built something green down there…but not with earthbags.
