In Episode 11 of Allergic Reaction, Lisa Lomax travels to Hesperia, California to visit an open house for SuperAdobe homes at CalEarth. Tucked behind a housing development of cookie cutter homes is a time capsule from two eras: the ancient past and a potential Martian future. Semi-underground, domed domiciles built from sandbags and with all the elements in mind. Volunteers explain how these earth-built structures not only resist fire but harden and strengthen when burned, like pottery baking in a kiln. They’re designed to outlast us, to withstand wind, and even to be built on Mars. (NASA had collaborated on this idea.) Lisa meets dreamers who see these domes as a new kind of smart home with ancient-future technology: a way to finally live with nature, rather than to struggle against it. Some imagine SuperAdobes in Joshua Tree, others in Twentynine Palms, all envisioning a different kind of luxury: one rooted in earth, resilience and simplicity.
