\"Kostas<\/p>\n

The workshop will be held by\u00a0Kostas Kontomanos\u00a0from\u00a0Cob.gr, a social Greek cooperative concerrned with natural building and bioclimatic architecture. \u201cNatural building\u201d is a fairly new\u00a0term which is used to describe an approach to building with a direction towards the use of local, carefully selected or recycled materials, simple tools and techniques.<\/p>\n

Kostas and his organization have a portfolio of 17 buildings and more than 50 natural constructions. They also organize workshops on the topic of natural building in collaboration with municipalities, schools, universities and other educational institutes. They created and are maintaining a network of architects, natural builders and volunteers which\u00a0connects people who need help in building with people who offer their help.\u00a0\u00a0In their farm in Nessonas (Greece) they use natural farming and permaculture techniques. They are very experienced in maintaining\/dehydrating\/conserving food, using simple and low energy methods.\u00a0In the last two years Cob\u00a0have been more and more orientated in organizing more holistic workshops. In ten day campuses we introduce people to a low impact\/self sufficient living. People build their own accommodation, ovens, composting toilets, produce soaps and cleaners, they learn how to pick herbs, mushrooms and how to produce and preserve food in general.<\/p>\n
