I am building a house in Iowa by the strict requirements
and dimensionality of Sthapatya-ved. As you probably know,
these dimensions are specific to certain harmonic
structures generated by the architectural style and my
astologic chart. The outer walls will be approximately 10.5
inches thick. I would like to use some sort of straw/clay
mixture, but I also live in a very cold climate. It is not
unusual to have -10 degree temperatures for several weeks
on end. I have friends who built with rammed earth and
their environment is miserable during winter, always
fighting the fly-wheeling of energy in the earth structure.
Can you shed any light on the true insulation value of a
straw clay mixture in this climate.
I am in the process of designing a small traditional
Japanese house for myself. I am trying to use as many
natural materials as possible. I believe one of the
traditional methods was the use of clay in the exterior
walls and finish. I would like to stay away from treated
plywood if I can. Could you offer some suggestions?

the lift has the following buttons:
a. G (for ground floor)

c. 2 (for the second floor)
d. 3 (for the 3rd floor)

Assume currently the lift is in the ground
floor; write an algorithm for the lift to work.
Australian architecture should be much the same as American
architecture because they both came from British influence
and were founded at about the same time. I was hoping you
could give me some insight on that and tell me if I should
change my hypothesis.
