When we recently passed through San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, we wanted to connect with Andy Watson and Dorothy Gerhart, who run Karacadir, a sustainable development learning center. We first met them a couple of years ago when we were in the area, and were impressed with their dedication and vision for establishing this center. They have continued to pursue this vision, and today have established much firmer roots on the large tract of land that they have purchased.

I had an opportunity to speak with Manuel Sanchez Martinez, who is trained as an architect, but now mainly coordinates various University of Guanajuato programs related to restoration and new urban design, not just in this city but several others. I showed him pictures of our earthbag/papercrete house and explained some about why I had built it this way.
