NATIVE AMERICA
Season 2 of Native America is a groundbreaking portrait of contemporary Indian Country. Building on the success of the first season, this four-part Native directed series reveals the beauty and power of today’s Indigenous world. Smashing stereotypes, it follows the brilliant engineers, bold politicians, and cutting-edge artists who draw upon Native tradition to build a better 21st century. Each hour reveals a core tenet of Native heritage: the power of Indigenous design, how language and artistry fuel the soul, the diverse ways that Native women lead, and the resilience of the warrior spirit. Brought to life with dynamic stories of the here and now, these thematic episodes launch an active dialogue between past and present. They reveal the foundational beliefs and traditions that Native Americans carry forward to this day, even as they live fully modern lives.
Somehow this video is missing the part where is shows the actual foam-crete structure inside…
But anyways, this kind of non-autoclaved foam-crete is very easy to make. Basically you only need cement and aluminum powder. The powder reacts with the wet cement to create gas that bubbles up the cement.
The main problem with this is that the result is very weak. So you either need to make some sort of ferrocement sandwich structure or cut it into smaller blocks to autoclave it for extra strength. The latter process is quite energy intensive and needs a large pressure vessel, but those autoclaved foam-crete blocks are quite commonly used as building material in Europe.
Yep, very very annoying w_w
