Description: Peter Turkow, Co-Founder of Rochester Green Living will present on this centuries old construction method that has had a resurgence in interest and practice throughout the world since the late 70’s. The simplicity (children are very encouraged in the construction process), efficiency, aesthetic beauty, cost and environmental benefits of this method of construction will be shown through a power point presentation, diagrams and a physical test wall to see what you can do with wood that most people burn.
