The use of earth plaster is very common in natural buildings; it is the same mixture used in adobe. Though easily made its use is not widely known. Rafael Loschiavo from Ecoeficientes teaches the step-by-step method for bringing a new life to a run-down wall without the need for major renovations.

Loschiavo specializes in sustainable architectural solutions and puts its principles to use in his works. In an interview for CicloVivo he says that we must demystify the idea of expensive sustainable architecture. \"Lots of design choices don't add cost and such is the case with passive architecture which makes use of nature itself to provide ventilation shadowing and lighting. For example creating agreeable and efficient environments.\"
