If you are interested in earthen building in Africa, I would recommend going to
Mali. The architecture there is amazing!!! I have some pics on my website at
www.artktecture.ca

Cheers,

I took a 3 week owner-builder course at Cob Cottage in
Coquille, Oregon in 2003.  I remember perusing a book
or two in the common/gathering building that contained
beautiful pictures of earthen buildings and their
interiors in Africa.  The book had a hard cover and
the images were in color.  I can't remember the title
for the life of me...I tried African Tapestries but
had no hits.  Is anyone familiar with a book of this
sort or even specific websites.  I'm considering going
to South Africa, but anywhere in Africa would be good
to look into. 

And since I'm asking, is there anyone with specific
knowledge about cob building in Barbados or Belize?

Thanks!
