[Strawbale] Loadbearing vaults + some ESBG11 information

[Zuzana Kierulfova]

Hello,
I would like to correct Max´s info.
The project we are doing with Gernot Minke in Slovakia is a loadbearing dome
surrounded by 8 loadbearing vaults. All will be covered by earth and
plants. (workshop organized by NGO ArTUR, not "my" organization but I am at
the moment ellected chairman)
Best regards to everybody,
Zuzana
