It’s worth mentioning this aero-crete is not the kind which caused problems with building failures in the UK, that was reinforced and autoclaved aerocrete with the problem being the steel reinforcement rusting inside the concrete. As seen in the video the steel structure is in plate form underneath the outer concrete skin, which means it’s not reinforced concrete and should be just fine through all seasonal conditions.
*descendent. It also makes me happy to see that people are really willing to help these communities develop better infrastructure that meets *all* their needs
I love that they show the failures along the way. The only way innovation works is to try new things. Better to build a full-size prototype to understand what needs to be changed or refined.
I believe I saw the young white men performing a quality control test, as a Project Inspector, Native American, I am glad to see those tests performed. Such a different material I would love to know the Civil Engineering Material Testing specs. ASTM. Signed, and old man.
I am.going to get a tipi for summer liveing . I live ofgrid in a modern cabin . Sustainable liveing is a great way to live . And it makes one feel proud. Small 👣 , energy efficient, Minimalist lifestyle , affordable , renewable energy .helps ones soul to feel conected to the earth 🌎.
Monolithic Dome has tested aircrete and the psi is just too low to be relied on. Maybe someone in the tribe could go to a Monolithic Dome building workshop and research all the years of testing that has already been done.
Investing in people is the best way to get productivity out of them. It's why inheritors of wealth generally go on to find more success than their less fortunate counterparts. If people in this country felt this way, poor natives would be a thing of the past. Concrete insulation is pretty cool, but it just seems like these people are being asked to think way outside the box, because they are so poor. Besides, how are they even supposed to make sloped sides with that goop? Won't the bubbles pop and cause it to settle back into regular old concrete? BTW, I know solar energy is very trendy and fashionable right now, but it's not a practical, reliable, or even cheap solution to the electricity problem. All of the stop gaps, like battery storage, large arrays, etc are all very ineffective and heating is one of the least efficient ways to use electricity, by a long shot. I'm not saying they need to use coal or nuclear or anything political. I'm saying we need to stop facilitating this lie that electricity is a scarce commodity that isn't easily reproducible. It's basically just a lie to give utility companies better margins. It fits into the scheme of capitalism much better, privatize everything, even if its wasteful, costs much more, and gives worse service. All of the conventional sources of energy, steam, water, wind, nuclear, solar, all are unnecessary and expensive. The solution was always right in everyone's face, the transformer.
Well in part because buffalo were hunted to extinction in a deliberate attempt to break traditional plains native cultures’ way of life. Pretty hard to build a tipi back then without buffalo hides, unless I’m mistaken. There were also lots of programs and policies (some brutal, some well-intentioned) enacted to ‘civilize the indians’ by attempting to make smallholding farmers and ranchers in the American style out of communitarian and semi/nomadic peoples. Like with traditional building practices from all over the world, there’s a lot we can learn and also a lot to improve on with modern materials and methods. I think this project is a cool example of this approach, although I don’t personally think aircrete is the best approach.

It gives me great joy to see a living ancestor of Red Cloud leading his people.

This video leaves out an important aspect of any story…the end? I’d like a shot of the completed project.

I no watched the show last night. I would volunteer to help them. Great project to help the Indigenous peoples.
I'm from this rez it never took off
That’s a shame to hear, hope something new can be made.

My father was one of the founders of ASTM waaaaay back.
Much love to our brothers and sisters. From us in New Zealand ❤

Awesome to see some one doing it for them, hope they are all well blessed and are warm this winter 🙏
Cool building dude!
The ancient ways are always correct.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 yeah right
yeah no religion is real. I am getting tired of all these people praying to trees and clouds @@ak9989
Is there design advantage to the conical shape to withstand high winds? I suspect, yes. m
There's an air circulation advantage inside, so I expect there'd be an advantage to air circulating around it outside as well.
AWESOME!
all these new ideas are soo cool!!!!!!!
DownToEarth covers Indian (Asia, not US!) techniques using packed earth but roofing techniques might be useful.

Where is the rest of the video lol?
ok foamcrete, but that’s the opposite of a tipi - who wants to live in that storage tank looking tub
😊😊😊😊
You didn’t even bother to show us how this turned out?
Great idea if it doesn't have to meet IBC code...
💛🖤❤ 🤍
If the tipi was so great why haven't those folks been living in them all this time?

just no JUST STOP. No religion is real.
Igloo lol
BWAHHAHAHAHA! What is this a solution for exactly?
Your mom.

Try engaging your brain and listening!
😅😊 Your new cheap housing so to speak do you think it'll withstand a hurricane in Florida
The psi of aircrete might not be sufficient like regular concrete. Shotcrete would be a better bet.
I love this. I’m so happy that this is happening. 🩵💛🩵
It never took off
