Aircrete is a pretty neat alternative building material that mixes dish soap foam and cement to create lightweight bricks. These bricks can be used to build dome homes, traditional houses, and lots of other structures, and it's very DIY and beginner-friendly. Joel from Domegaia sat down to tell us all about the aircrete recipe, how it works, what it costs, what kind of insulation value it has, and where it can be used in the world. He also dives into some of the challenges of building with aircrete, including mixture collapse issues, building permits, and more.
Domegaia has a ton of resources on their website and YouTube channel, and they also run workshops all around the world. You can follow and find out more about Domegaia on their website, newsletter, and YouTube channel here:
