Technology for the Poor, a non-profit charitable organization based in Westerville, Ohio, discuss their techniques for low cost construction from an excerpt from their manual:
"The Construction Techniques described in this manual use straw as filler in wall sections. It further describes how one need not have to bale the straw to use it for wall construction. The author used the techniques described in this manual to build plastered straw structures in India and Pennsylvania. The pictures in the following pages should provide sufficient information for anyone to construct a low-cost, earth-friendly building using straw as building material for the walls."
