Wood Framed Buildings Are Fire Traps
Every day people burn to death, people are injured, and people lose their homes from fires in wood framed buildings. Why on earth is humanity still building them? Most people still do not know any better.
Earth Architecture
Nader Khalili
has discovered a much safer form of construction that uses no trees, is easy to build, and you can build yourself without a contractor using the dust of the earth. He has a center for
earth architecture
in California.
Earth Architecture in West Virginia
Part of our vision is a school and research center in West Virgina for Nader Khalili's visionary ideas of earth architecture as a building solution for the third millemium. There are many reasons why West Virginia is an ideal location for an east coast center for earth architecture.
Friendly Welcoming People
The people in West Virginia are wonderful. Most of them are warm, friendly, welcoming, helpful, and charming.
Beautiful Land at Reasonable Prices
The land in West Virginia is beautiful and there is lots of it available at very reasonable prices. The altitude is also high enough so that if global warming causes the polar ice caps to melt we will not be flooded.
Central Location
More people live within a one day drive from West Virginia than just about anywhere else in the United States. Whether you live in Boston, Atlanta, Chicago, or any place in between, you can leave home in the morning and have dinner in West Virginia.
Good Air and Water
Few places on the east coast of the United States have perfect air and water, but West Virginia's is very good. In many parts of West Virginia the mountain air is clean and clear and the well water needs no processing.
Comfortable Weather
While West Virginia does have a few extreme days each winter and summer, for the most part the weather is quite nice for living, working, and farming. Spring, which is very beautiful, can begin as early as February some years. Fall is especially beautiful and some years it can last almost until Christmas.
Varying Weather Conditions
While the West Virginia climate is rather moderate, there are a usually several days each winter when it does have the same cold, snowy weather as Boston and Chicago. There are also usually several days each summer when West Virginia has the same hot, muggy weather as Atlanta and New Orleans. This allows us to test designs that will work for most of the United States.
Many Varied Terrains
Anybody can build on flat land. If you can build a form of alternative housing on West Virginia's terrain, it can probably be build anywhere.
Virtually No Antiquated Building Codes
Building codes are the biggest hindrance to new building technology. Most current building codes in the United States will easilly allow you to build a wooden fire trap but will prevent you from building a fire proof earth building. Most parts of West Virginia have no building codes at all. This allows us to be wide open to new building technology.
In the same way that liberal gambling laws have made Las Vegas a major hotel and convention center, we foresee liberal building code laws making West Virginia an major center for alternative building technology.
Your contrubutions to the Inner Peace vision continue to give us guidance and are greatly appreciated.

About This Archived Collection
Inner Peace is no longer maintained by its author, and no support is
available for using the software. This collection is preserved as it stood,
and is hosted by ibiblio.org. To report a problem with these pages, such as a
broken link or a missing file, use the
ibiblio help request page.
Many of the sites this collection links to have closed or changed hands in the
years since these pages were written. Rather than send you to whoever holds
those addresses now, ibiblio has altered some of the links:
-
A link marked [archived copy] opens a dated snapshot at the
Internet Archive instead of the original address.
-
Text marked [link no longer available] was a link to a site
that has gone, and for which no snapshot could be found. The words remain;
the link does not.
The original addresses have not been erased. Every altered link still records
the address it pointed at, in the page source, so what this collection cited
remains part of the record. None of the author's own writing has been
changed.
Donations are no longer accepted. The donation buttons that once appeared on
these pages, and in the programs offered here for download, sent money to the
collection's author, who has since ended their involvement with the
collection. Continuing to collect money on their behalf would not be right, so
ibiblio has removed those buttons. Pages describing the old donation policy are
left as the author wrote them, and describe how things once worked rather than
how they work now.
Hosted by ibiblio.org
InnerPeace.Org is a member organization of
ibiblio.org, the public's library, based at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, which provides our Internet hosting, archiving, and other support.
