Alosha Lynov is a Bio-Architect who combines the principles of Earthships, the vision of Antoni Gaudí, and the elegance of Sacred Geometry to create autonomous Living BioShelter Organisms—self-heating, self-cooling, and self-sustaining structures. He founded Bio-Veda Academy of Bio-Architecture for the purpose of educating and empowering people to design and build their own eco-homes. To date, the academy has provided hands-on video courses in ecological construction and water self-sufficiency to more than 3,500 students worldwide. With over 25 years of experience, Alosha has dedicated his career to integrating biomimicry, permaculture, and sustainable technologies into architecture. His unique approach emphasizes biomimetic forms and systems that are structurally stronger, more cost-effective, and more harmonious with natural landscapes than conventional building methods. Alosha’s path began in the late 1990s, initially working with spandex sculptures for event design. In 2007, he trained in Mexico at a flying concrete workshop, where he mastered the creation of Gaudí-inspired ferrocement shells. He later applied this knowledge to his own land, building a 700 sq. ft. seashell-inspired structure and developing a fully self-sufficient ecosystem. His work has taken him across five continents, where he has studied with global experts and taught workshops in BioTecture, permaculture, and water self-sufficiency. Today, his focus remains on developing and teaching innovative building techniques that enable individuals and communities to live sustainably and resiliently.
Great and Wonderful Experience
I have extensive knowledge of wilderness survival in my own area, however, learning about the Arctic and Jungle people gave me the interest to pursue learning more about the different climates and areas unknown to me. Honestly, the first module I found uninteresting and struggled to pay attention to it as it seemed frivolous and did not encourage me to continue. I powered through, though, and was much relieved to find more tangible content from there on out. on the whole it was very informative and I loved doing the practical assignments. I have never made char cloth or used a bowdrill or friction method before!
a very thorough approach of sylvotherapy including scientific and cultural info. Could be more science base for more credibility of the practice. Forest profiles and cultures vary around the globe so it would be interesting to get module divided in different zones
Overall it's a great course! My favorite is learning about negative ions so far. I was a uncomfortable with the chakra and meridian practice, and the concentrated time spent on these. I think someone who is a long term practitioner of this work is the best person to teach. It's also hard to grasp and believe via this online asyncronous format.
A very interesting and valuble course.
Fantastic knowledge. I enjoyed every module, while Upstate in the woods.
I am almost halfway through the program and I have already learned so much and really enjoy it
I truly enjoyed this course. It challenged me to think, and I learned a ton. It is a great complement to the work I do as an outdoor guide as well!
Love the modules! I'm learning so much! Lots of great information!!
I love all the new knowledge and insight
So far, I am learning so much about plants, trees, and nature as it relates to us physically and emotionally. I am truly enjoying this learning experience!
Course was great, and went in depth into just the right areas of importance. Would have been nice to have a little more focus on North American trees and plants, but it was still very informative.
I’m really enjoying this course in Alma oasis! Highly recommend
Gained new knowledge re: the scientific facts n benefits about trees and plants and history . Learned the difference between hiking in the forest and forest bathing. More aware of environmental pollutants and their harmful effects . And the effects of different trees .
I am learning that I really did not know the impact of unhealthy environments until I took this course. There is so much to learn and so much material in just Modules 1-3. I am excited to continue....
A comprehensive and thorough guide to the subject. I would have appreciated links to the studies cited, and that would have made the course more scientifically reliable. Some of the questions in the quiz section were a bit ambiguous, but this did not impede instruction. LOTS of resources provided in the course itself. Thank you for an enjoyable and educational experience.
