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.
Though this course covers the material well, I haven't found Facebook a very effective way to advertise. As it was free, it was worth doing, but I wouldn't have paid for it.
I would’ve thought by now there would be a much more glamorous way to present material. Rather than videos, you basically get an e-book with an audio track and there’s no way to keep them in sync. Every time you have to stop the audio, you lose your place in the e-book. There’s also no way to hot-key through the material or skip to pages - for instance, to find the place where you stopped last time. So every time you start a session, you have to find where you were in the ebook, restart the audiotape and play it back to the place where you left off. This is absolutely moronic in the year 2026. (Also, the person who voiced the recordings mispronounces words at an alarming rate, including scientific terms that are quite germane to the course.) Had I realized that the material was not presented as videos, I would not have signed up for this class. The e-books are terribly thorough, however, and have great information. It’s a shame that they can’t figure out a modern way to present it.
Much less information than I expected. Not enough to survive on your own much less instruct.
Does the idea of a tree being a sentient being resonate deeply with you? Have you heard of egregores? Do you believe in Gaia, the Earth Mother? If you answered yes, then this course may be of interest to you. So far, I have completed the first two modules and have noticed a lack of citations for the studies referred to in the reading, as well as a bias towards mysticism and pseudoscience. I paid $97 for this course, and so far, I am disappointed. I hoped for a framework for sylvanotherapy or suggested techniques. Fair warning, the first two modules will most likely shock you (or possibly amuse you) if you are more of a rationalist and a proponent of the scientific method.
confiuse
information for some reason to retain, i have listen to the first 3 modules like 4
only reading no interaction no visuals diagrams no videos, photos or anything other than text.
I am not really interested in Fb marketing
The start of the course was interesting and now the last few modules are just listing just to many plants and properties that its impossible to retain info - good as a reference guide to look plants up but not fun or interesting when learning
Difficult to navigate!
