Nader Khalili is the architect's name.  His book is "Ceramic Houses and
Earth Architecture."  He has a web site at: www.cal-earth.org, and these
days is the main proponent of the superadobe method, aka earthbag
construction.  I've just ordered "Building with Earth" by Paulina
Wojciechowska to learn more about this.  One of these days I'll check
out the ceramic house book too - it's such an intriguing idea!
