TRANSCRIPT
Earthship Windship
40 people from all around the world are coming to Batug - Dulag,
Leyte,from 22 February – 5 March
to help us build this structure together with the village builders
1. Soil mounded on top of structure keeps it on the ground
3. Rounded shape lets wind pass thru without resistance
2. It is very heavy
HOW IS THE BUILDING TYPHOON PROOF?
WHAT ARE OTHER BENEFITS OF WIND SHIP STRUCTURES?
Independent Off-Grid Solar Power
Indoor Grey-water system
Tropical Grey-Water System
Contained sewage treatment
Rainwater Harvesting
Wind Ships are built with old tyres, cans and glass bottles.
We also use some cement and metal works in the construction
300 pound steel belted rubber encased thermal mass brick using globally available by products of
modern civilization
Glass Bottle Wall
WHY IS IT GOOD TO USE WASTE AS BUILDING MATERIALS?
There is so much pollution and waste in the Philippines. We should
1. reduce waste2. Learn how to use waste so it does not fill up
our landfills
Let’s care for the earth
Uses natural building as well
Natural Building Finish on wall
SO, WHAT IS ACTUALLY COMING TO BATUG?
Architect drawing of Batug Wind Ship
Please note that Architect drawing always look nicer on paper
It is essentially 2 of these structures facing each other, with an arch
connecting the two rooftops
Details about the Wind Ship construction in Batug:
• Where: School ground• Size: 75 ft x 75 ft (Roughly ¼ the size of the school assembly filed)
• Use of building:i. typhoon bunker, ii. school classroom, iii. Training facility during weekends
SO, SHOULD WE BUILD A
WIND SHIP IN BATUG?
If the proposed Batug Wind Ship proves to
be successful, we plan to build one Wind Ship for each
Barangay in the future
This will help save the lives of many people;
not just in our Barangay, but all the Barangay’s in Dulag if
another Typhoon comes
This will be the first building of its kind in the Philippines, even in Asia
To be the first, we have to be bold and take the risk
in trying new things. Is Batug ready to give the
Wind Ship a try?
