    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    From the construction side, you can learn about bioconstruction, design and different techniques that have to do with clay and sustainable houses. From living together in our house, whatever has to do with art and parenting. If you like music, you can learn about Argentine folklore, specifically the chacarera and the zamba, two of the most important rhythms in our country, and how it merges with other languages such as jazz. From the Illustration side you can also learn about digital drawing on iPad or tablet.

    Desde el lado de la contrucción, se puede aprender sobre bioconstrucción, diseño y distintas técnicas que tienen que ver con el barro y las casas sustentables.

    We need help to build the house, specifically to put mud on the walls. We have the entire structure and the roof already in place. We use a technique called "straw shuttering" which consists of a mixture of straw with clay and water. It is a job where you use your hands and does not require much physical effort. No prior knowledge is required either.



    Necesitamos ayuda para construir la casa, específicamente para colocar barro en las paredes. Tenemos toda la estructura y el techo ya colocados. Usamos una técnica que se llama "paja encofrada" que consta de una mezcla de paja con arcilla y agua. Es un trabajo donde se utilizan las manos y no lleva mucho esfuerzo físico. Tampoco se necesita conocimiento previo.

    We live on Cerro Otto, which has a rotating confectionery, unique in South America, which can be accessed by cable car, walking or by car. We are 10 blocks from Lake Nahuel Huapi and 20 minutes from Lakes Gutierrez and Moreno, which you can go to by bus that passes 5 blocks from our house. After work, if the day is nice, we always go to a lake, take the canoe and spend the afternoon enjoying it.
