Earthship Biotecture: Normandy, France In an effort to spread knowledge and skills about Earthships globally, Earthship Biotecture hosted a training program in the Spring of 2007. Participants in the workshop received the opportunity to work alongside our Earthship Commando Crew for the first six weeks of this project. For each week long session six people were accepted into the program. As part of the training, participants received an introductory lecture and slideshow about Earthships and the specifics of the France project. Each day participants had the opportunity to learn and assist in construction methods which are specific to Earthship building; such as pounding tires to form a thermal mass wall, building nonstructural walls with bottles and cans, and mixing and applying earthen plaster as well as many other aspects of construction. Due to the timeline of the project each weekly session covered a different part of the build.
