I want to build a Hyperadobe home. I have seen many YouTube videos about the process, but I want to know way more than a few videos can teach me.
Does anyone have any book suggestions? I searched eBay and Amazon and found almost nothing.

Thank you for the link. I can see he used a concrete foundation for his home. That is way out of budget for me. I have seen some people use the bags as the foundation but filled with gravel for the first few layers. But I’m not sure how they drain any moisture away if it gets wet.
I live in a place where I can get it permitted. Not worried about that. I just want to see several ways people build these and try to make it the way I feel is a fit for my area.
Not sure about your budget, but concrete is cheaper by bulk. You can cheat on your concrete fill by using rocks. If you live in an area with cuts through hills, you may be able to source large rocks from there and dump the concrete in the gaps around it.
This land has plenty of rocks, I have been using them for everything. Thank you for your ideas
