Impressions of Valle de Sensaciones

Talking stick, Comunal living, Green building, Senses,
Llegamos a un paraje escondido entre pequeñas montañas donde una vertiente de agua oxigena el valle y propicia que muchos árboles lo cobijen. Sigue siendo verano y el calor es todavía agobiante. Achim nos recoge, nos lleva a pasear el lugar y nos invita a sentirlo – “Nos encontramos en un rato para comer” nos dice y se va dejándonos en nuestra pequeña casa octagonal hecha de arcilla. Pero ésta no es la única de su estilo, el lugar está lleno de construcciones ovaladas, octagonales, amorfas; unas sobre los árboles y otras sobre las lomas, unas que se mecen y otras que cobijan. n class="read-more">Read more »

The octagon is the central space of Valle de Sensaciones. Thanks to its design it suits different uses: its a space for meeting as well as for doing workshops, it is also the kitchen and a turns into a dance floor when we party. We can tear off two of its walls and make it into a half open space for summer. Thanks to its central hole on the mandala roof and its vaporizing ground it keeps a nice climate in summer.

Clay construction

Creative and healthy building

Green building,
Clay is an amazing material. It is a composition of mineral particles, which is offered by nature to us for a variety of uses. From the very first contact, the material is caressing your skin. Clay has a healing power for wounds, is able of sucking infections out of the body, heals the digestive apparatus and much more. You can get it into shape either with your hands or with some tools; in either ways it is a smooth, moldable material of great adherence. It invites us to experience our creativity, may it be doing small sculptures or artistic constructions. n class="read-more">Read more »

Building with straw bales is a technique pioneered a century ago in the state of Nebraska. In recent years there has been a renaissance in the use of straw as a building material largely in the American Southwest, but also in Canada, Australia, France, Holland, Germany, Austria and China. Straw is a renewable resource with excellent insulating properties. It is a cheap and easy-to-use option for self-builders, and even large-scale structures can be erected using timber framework filled with straw.
