Research and innovation are essential to advancing holistic new ways to live and build with enviromental realities. Education is essential to empowering people and communities to implement these techniques. The School of Constructive Arts (SCA) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to research, innovation, and education in regenerative design and natural building systems. Our campus in Big Bend provides a laboratory for innovation and a place for students to learn through direct participation, observation, and experimentation. It also serves as a proof of concept desmonstrating new models and possibilities.

Constructive Arts Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) provides consultation and direct assistance to help others build to the highest standards of environmental design, utilizing the innovations, expertise, and community build approach developed at the School of Constructive Arts. We offer design consultation, soil, site, and hydrological assesments, and direct construction assistance to partners seeking to utilize earth building and regenerative design in their projects. We deploy our team and equipment to teach on-site workshops with partner organizations, building their capacity and empowering their communities. Revenue from this work in turn supports continuing research and education at SCA.
