[Cob] Engineering Question

[America Leavenworth]

Was it at Berkeley that they were doing those sand and barbed wire  
houses and proposing that the construction technique could be virally  
taught to crews in devestated areas and quickly create shelters for  
families to later plaster, cob, or otherwise finish their homes?   
Nadir Khalili?

There seems to be plenty of contact info in there along with a small  
amount of technical info.
