Education + Outreach

Building knowledge

Part of Aerecura’s work extends beyond construction itself.

Over the years, our team has participated in workshops, presentations, research, collaborations, and educational initiatives connected to sustainable building, rammed earth, natural materials, and long-term building performance.

We believe building knowledge should be shared — not only within the construction industry, but more broadly through conversations about how homes are designed, built, and lived in.

Why outreach matters to us

The way we build has long-term impacts on comfort, health, resource use, climate resilience, and the environments we create around us.

At the same time, many sustainable and natural building practices remain unfamiliar, inaccessible, or misunderstood within conventional construction culture.

Education and outreach create space for broader conversations around:

  • material choices

  • long-term thinking

  • building science

  • low-carbon construction

  • natural materials

  • resilience and durability

  • healthier indoor environments

For us, this work is closely connected to the values that shape our projects every day.

Areas of involvement

Workshops & demonstrations

Hands-on introductions to rammed earth, natural materials, and sustainable building practices.

School & university collaborations

Presentations, educational partnerships, and conversations with students exploring architecture, sustainability, construction, and environmental design.

Community engagement

Participating in local events, tours, public conversations, and collaborative initiatives connected to sustainable building and climate-conscious design.

Professional collaboration

Working alongside architects, designers, builders, engineers, and organizations interested in integrating rammed earth and sustainable construction approaches into broader projects.

Rooted in practice

Our outreach work is grounded in direct experience.

Aerecura’s approach combines hands-on construction knowledge, sustainable building practices, building science, and more than 15 years of experience working with rammed earth and natural materials in Ontario.

Pedro’s background also includes teaching natural building and permaculture, designing ecovillages, and researching traditional and Indigenous building methods in Brazil — experiences that continue to inform how we think about material, place, and long-term sustainability today.

Expanding the conversation around building

We believe homes can do more than meet minimum requirements.

They can support health, comfort, resilience, lower environmental impact, and a stronger connection between people, materials, and landscape.

Part of outreach is helping create the conditions for those conversations to happen more often — whether through education, collaboration, demonstrations, or simply sharing the possibilities of building differently.

Interested in collaborating?

We’re always open to conversations around workshops, educational partnerships, speaking opportunities, research collaborations, and community initiatives connected to sustainable building and natural materials.
