this would be a great solution for reducing waste. styrofoam isn’t biodegradable so recycling it to make houses is genius

great idea for a new design of a home, the interior part is really cool, it look like impossible when you look at it from the outside.

Looks like some one attended a Nader Kalilli apprentice workshop for Architecture in The Mojave Dessert.I did prior to his passing.Nader,Iranian born architect,hands on taught us how to build these exact shapes with “earth”,packed inside coiled rolls of varying diameter blue tarp like material tubes.it was a fun and energizing experience,Nader and his Institute of apprentices sought to build shelter for economically disadvantaged peoples world wide —–all with what was at hand ,earth,water,clay and sweat equity.
I don’t remember him mentioning styrofoam.The designs seem identical.
Some were even glazed and fires built inside to create a ceramic structure which,passed Californias strict earthquake resistant codes.
He was a real brilliant, kool guy, genius, humanitarian,who loved Rumi’s poetry.His last words to me were “write your experiences,like me,that’s what I did”.
