The rains have held off and we continue to drive onwards with our shrt term goal of finishing the tyre walls by mid September. We then have two months to get the roof on hopefully before the winter monsoon in November/December. |

We are having a short break from tyre ramming whilst the concrete lintels dry. |
There has been a lot of media attention on Earthship Karuna this past two months. This build was featured in the DNA Newspaper (Bombay, Pune & Mumbai editions). They covered this work with a full page spread.
There are two more stories going out in architecture magazines in India soon. Finally I will be presenting at the P.C.E.R.F (Pune Construction Engineering Research Foundation) on August 2nd. This will most likely generate lots of interest in Earthship builds. I hope that this is just the start for India on this idea. It looks like already there will be some small private builds such as my own.
I am currently building a network that could help to achieve a lot for various projects. My aim is to help whoever I can to find the right teams to perform new builds. If you are reading this and have useful skills and might like to make up part of a build crew please get in touch.
