Programs: We are Nomadic Earth Architecture, a newly established grassroots nonprofit dedicated to sharing knowledge of natural building across cultures. Our approach is community-focused, which means that we work closely with local communities to understand from their perspectives, what their own unique cultural and environmental challenges are so that we can better meet the specific needs of each community we collaborate with. Our Work includes: Building safe and affordable housing that combines ancient building techniques with new methods and materials, like Magnesium Oxide, educating on healthier, non-toxic, natural building alternatives, creating a network of partnerships to share resources and support with communities that experience displacement or inequality from systems of exclusion, and collaborating in community-led projects
