Rope-like concrete membrane with a woven wire core

Vertical wall single shelter construction practice now includes art; this could be a mural instead of a home, clinic or schoolroom. These first few strands could become anything from a plane to geometrical patterns, or something like a dimensional relief of Pablo Picasso's Guernica, including colors. Winter is rapidly approaching, perhaps a smaller indoor sculpture will continue this practice.

Space-age mud and wattle can be formed into anything; rain gutters and wall murals, for example.

Among the economically intriguing returns to this construction method are new artists who will arise and bring world-wide attention that yields priceless cultural and economic benefits to nations that foster Self-sheltering with Space-age mud and wattle.
