I finally sent the letter to the Cultus! Yay! I also have an idea for artisan architecture that promotes the growth of native biodiversity without damaging its surrounding ecological environment. It will have no plastics of any kind, nor any damaging chemicals. The carpets, if able, will be replaced with soft, native grass. This carpet of sorts will be watered through drip irrigation from the rain water that gets collected on the roof. The drip irrigation system and surrounding outdoor permaculture forest garden will be watered by the elements and a geopolymer pipeline if applicable. (A gray water system should be installed for the shower and sink, wasted food gets composted and the toilet is a composting toilet). The refrigerator is replaced with a fermented food pantry (underground, if you can.) since it stores for a long time and is healthy (Meats like fish and poultry and any kind of solid plant is fermented, drinks can be fermented into kvass soda or alcohol, along with water storage. Ooh! Prickly Pear syrup in kvass soda! Sounds good!). The outer walls will be straw-bale walls, outside plastered with natural hydraulic lime (Handmade, if you can), the inner walls being plastered with clay plaster. The wood used should be strong, and should be debarked by hand. Keep the log naturally round, for square logs are weaker There's a reason why trees aren't rectangular prisms, so why do we use sheets of wood and flat wood planks to build weak, ugly, stubby commercial homes? Round wood is naturally stronger, as nature favors the strong and therefore not the nasty rectangular prism logs that mills pull out. The logs should be joined with heavy-duty nuts and bolts to increase the strength and endurance of the building.
Oh, wouldn't it be cool if the fermentation jars would be organized by color based upon the visible [or light] spectrum (or rainbow colors, if you will). It's art, practical and food! You see, different jars will be different colors because of the contents inside, put them in a visible color spectrum based order and it looks like a rainbow; however, since fermented food should be stored in the dark, you may not see it. Boo.
I wrote this because I injured myself skateboarding (I lost my balance, and then I was thrown off and rolled onto the road. I got up, in pain. I gather my skateboard and limped home to take care of my injuries. Then I went back to dangerous hill-surfing! Woo!) I now need to rest my body and I decided to think. I was talking about how carpets are disgusting sponges with my mom and how I would rather have a natural dirt floor when I saw the grass I walk on outside my bay window sliding door thing and I got the idea. I might go down to my community spa pool to ease the pain, maybe I can make new friends while I'm there. Or, maybe the people will leave me alone... Nah, only the drunk frat boys who can't rap, but still try to do that! Yay! I'm a natural idiot repellent! Seriously though, those guys are annoying. However, the home should follow codes to the best of nature's ability. I should also build it in regards to my spirituality. Yay! My crooked path is getting sharper with thorns. My side hurts still.
