Hi,
I Have a LOT of information, but can you be more specific?
Are you looking for recipes for plaster? Houses to visit? People who
work with strawbale?
Do you speak Spanish?
By the way:
arcilla = clay
cal = lime
sand = arena
paja = straw
bales = bala, paca, alpaca, and the MOST common in South America is
"Fardo"
There are no books that speak specifically about SB in South America,
but there are 3 books about SB in Spanish:
Mine (with maren Termens) can be bought on Amazon.com
Gernot Minkes´s SB book is translated (published in Uruguay)
a version of "Build it with Bales" (Matts Myrhman) is translated and
published in Argentina
if you can be more specific in your questions maybe I can give you
more details.
saludos,
Rikki Jennifer Nitzkin
