Beautiful scenesof a myriad of culturescurving art-poem dwellings in the Pacific Northwest, thousand-year-old Pueblo architecture in New Mexico, centuries-old and contemporary cob homes in England, thatched huts in West Africa, and Moorish-style skyscrapers in Yemenmake this global trek a testament to both the spiritual and material benefits of building with the earth."
