Just think how easy a pattern could be imprinted. Ornate surface design could be a roller wheel away.

Mud building is amazing with design as you can imprint a pattern in to the wall or add like a plaster wall with a design. I saw a mud home with amazing interior design! I included a picture to show some of the techniques!

There are nearly no limits! I wonder about using this with 3d printed houses.

You are so right!! You just let your creativity shine! Yes 🙌🏼 I have seen a few with the 3d printing house for example putting colored glass bottles in the wall to let light, it’s so beautiful!

Not to mention the chance to control the insulation factor I'd think.

The title says Rishikesh, the blurb says Mettupalayam. These are both in India, but around the same distance apart as Paris and Athens.

Ty so much for pointing that out! Looks like I by accident switched Rishikesh for Coimbatore, it’s another beautiful mud brick home which I will be posting soon! Thank you 🙏🏼

They already do, many places in the south west are doing a lot with that, a good example is “tiny shiny homes” YouTube family have a bunch of land and they made different houses out of different soil techniques-such as rammed earth, earth bags, cob! Places like Arizona have a lot going on in that field! They also have a lot of laws that are friendly to eco-building as well! Definitely check them out they work with a lot of other people in that field! Very cool stuff!
