Download As PDF : Emergency Sandbag Shelter How to Build Your Own edition by Nader Khalili Iliona Outram Arts Photography eBooks 
Emergency Sandbag Shelter is a must-have manual for every home, as an emergency guide. Now for the first time this book is made available to people around the world by its inventor, award-winning architect Nader Khalili, whose specialty was skyscrapers and who dedicated his life to teaching others how to build shelter for humanity. This book, with over 700 photos and illustrations, shows how to use sandbags and barbed wire, the materials of war, for peaceful purposes as the new invention known as Superadobe or earth-bag, which can shelter millions of people around the globe as a temporary as well as permanent housing solution. This affordable, self-help, sustainable, and disaster-resistant structural system is a spin off from Khalili's presentation to NASA for habitat on the moon and Mars, which successfully passed rigorous tests for strict California earthquake building codes. This book along with a small library of films and kits can guide anyone to learn and teach how to build a home or community.
Emergency Sandbag Shelter How to Build Your Own edition by Nader Khalili Iliona Outram Arts Photography eBooks
This book should be required reading for anyone interested in building sustainable and eco-friendly and all-but-indestructible dwellings. Nader Khalili was an exceptional architect who also originated the CalEarth ceramic fired living spaces which are documnted in another of his excellent books, CalEarth.For Homesteaders, this type of construction could be used for your home (Or an add-on to it), your springhouse, your root cellar, storm shelter, barn, animal shelter, or storage building for those who are so inclined.
Far less expensive than conventional building construction methods, this method could be used to build your own shelter on your own property, mostly from materials already present onsite, at minimal cost.
BTW don't be fooled by the cover, this method can also be used to construct a normal urban-looking home that would fit well into any neighborhood.
I would like to see this used to construct homes for the vast numbers of homeless folks who are forced to roam the streets unsheltered, and I would also like to see it used in Haiti, Nepal or anywhere else where there has been an environmental or economic disaster which has cost people their homes and livelihoods.
A marvelous book by a great and creative Visionary.

Emergency Sandbag Shelter How to Build Your Own edition by Nader Khalili Iliona Outram Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
Great the best foundation for advanced earthbag construction
Nice
This book is fun to look at and dream about actually doing someday. What a cool concept! Instructions are basic and the finished products are beautiful and creative.
Great book about a very different style of building. It empowers people to build a stable, comfortable, very safe home.
Whether after a disaster, or simply because you wish to build your own home; this book will give you the basic skills to do just that.
Well done Nader Khalili!!
Would love to be able to post a positive review, but after purchasing I cannot read with any known , Fire, or the cloud reader. Fire says "DRM Restricted", paperwrite says "Invalid format".
This is a "Must Have" book even if you do not end up living in one of these Earth Structures. Yes there are a few other books on the subject and even some good web sites you can find on google. But this is the original book on the subject and one which you must read in order to understand where this building technique and style comes from.
You could actually build this on the moon as NASA has agreed is possible. This not a review of the amazing architect Khalili, as that is for others to do. This is instead simply to state that the wealth of pictures, descriptions of already built homes in this continuous earthbag system also called "flexible form rammed earth" makes this the "Bible" of building with this system, first introduced many thousands of years ago in the Persian Empire so successfully.
It is absolutely a game changer for those who do not want to participate in the current paradigm of expensive tightly ruled system of codes (which these homes do pass), rules of jurisdiction that do not take into consideration non mortgaged DIY and sustainable structured homes, and the out of control world that this brings about. And that statement is by a Real Estate Developer and Broker who understands THAT world all too well.
Want to completely change the world no matter what the world becomes? Look into building one of these homes, get out of the mortgaged rat race, learn to breath again, and start living a more sustainable lifestyle that this home will lead you into. I have and do not regret any part of it. Together we can actually build ourselves out of the reality we have created before we knew what we were doing. Buy this book and start that process. And check out the CalEarth Institute which is doing that...
I really liked this book. It really goes into detail about building with earth bags. I am a 67 year old grandmother. I was so inspired by this book that I am going to build myself and my son a dome shelter. We live in the sunny south and have a lot of tornados. I own a Bobcat and have started excavating the sites. I have 1000 bags ordered and ready to get to work. I will reread this book before going much further.
