I read his book about a year ago and also found his ideas fascinating.
Living in Tennessee, I wonder how his ideas would work in such a humid
environment. If you do experiment. please share your results with us.

I have also been thinking about this. Khalili was a big
hero when I was in architecture school. Though
Illinois is far from the optimum climate for earthbags,
a concrete footing may raise them above the damp,
and deep eaves may protect from most direct rain.
We shall see!
