Superadobe is a bioconstruction technique developed by the Iranian architect Nader Khalili. This method uses bags filled with stabilized soil, which are stacked in layers to form strong, low-cost structures. The technique has become popular for its simplicity, accessibility and environmental benefits.

Superbe was developed by Nader Khalili in the 1980s as part of his work at the Cal-Earth Institute of Architecture and Earth Sciences in Hesperia (California), California. Khalili was inspired by ancient Middle Eastern dome and vault construction techniques and sought a sustainable and affordable solution for housing. The concept of superabe is derived from the idea of ​​using local natural resources and simple techniques to create habitable and safe structures.

Superobe shares several similarities with the cob construction technique, another form of sustainable building that uses a mixture of earth, sand, straw and water. Both techniques take advantage of local materials and emphasize sustainability and energy efficiency. However, the superabe uses bags to contain the soil, which can offer additional advantages in terms of structural strength and ease of construction.

Superbe has been used in a variety of applications, from housing and emergency shelters to community and ecological centers. Its versatility and ease of construction make it ideal for rural areas and areas affected by natural disasters. Some notable examples include:.
