Forty-nine miles from our Big Bear place, in the Mojave Desert town of Hesperia, is world-renowned architect and philosopher Nader Khalili's Cal-Earth Institute of Earth Architecture building site. Peggy and I visited the Cal-Earth site yesterday where we finally got to see, first-hand, the beautiful and structurally sound earth-friendly dwellings that have been constructed there over the past 16 years.

They're really charming, very much of their own place. And I especially love the curves - makes me feel at one with the architecture!
What a wonderful experience Jim & Peggy, I just loved it. Great pictures.
Now I know what to do with all of my round rocks!!!!

Jim,
Fascinating! I went to Khalili's website and looked at his message. Simple and elegant. It is also beautiful in its intent to help people to establish or re-establish themselves with their own labor and with material right on hand.
I wonder how it could play in New Orleans? Or is it primarily geared for desert areas?
Please tell me that Peggy has a giant floppy hat to protect her precious skin.

How funny. I just finished reading about Cal-Earth on papercreters@yahoogroups.com, and now I'm seeing them again here! They have a beautiful look, but I would really like to go inside and see how they feel.
oooh I am so jealous that you got to see that in person and that you live that close. I would love to see it in person and pick the mans brain a little.
The beginning of my own dome is currently 6 inches under water, sniff sniff.
WOW, beautiful!!!!
Ok, I'm trolling, looking for help.
I'm writing a story. And at this point in the story (about me actually) this guy is caught in a traffic jam.
I want to compare the random collection of characters in a traffic jam (USA, near Atlanta , Ga, actually) to the random collection of living things, or other, caught in a drop of pond water.
So, can you guide me to a source that would explain and identify the random collection of living and non-living elements in a drop of pond water?
Thanks, for any help I'll be back.
Regards from Japan.
beautiful and inspiring,
Jim and Peg - What a great post. I am just now really, really getting into reading about sustainable, earth-friendly architecture. I loved this post and I loved the web site. It was also great to see you and Peg. You guys send off a good vibe even in photos and even cross country! Kathy in Kentucky
They look wonderfull; if I was not so far away, I should come over to see this beautiful architecture
My husband and I have retired to the island of Dominica, where we are planning to build an earth bag home. We, too, want to live a sustainable life, close to nature.
I enjoy your blog very much, and I am linking to you at livingdominica.blogspot.com.
Cheers!
I am glad you got to visit Cal-Earth. It is a magical place. I am lucky enough to have been able to be good friends with several of the people who live and work on the site, and to spend many nights in the wondrous domes. I hope to apprentice there in the near future.
It's too bad I wasn't able to get there sooner, though. The loving architect Nader Khalili passed away yesterday.
It is a dear wish of mine that the word of this wonderful place in the little town of Hesperia continue to be spread among the peaceful people of the planet. Thanks for posting about this.
