  Thank you! No I feel better about it. ;) I have no drawing/structural experience whatsoever, but I'm planning to build a small cabin with a side structure that may have a cool-roof/grass top, but obviously mine will only be 10-12 feet off the ground. While researching for it, I came across all these fantastical designs with no basis on reality. I feel vindicated that the author of the original article has design experience. I know engineers and architects will never quite see eye-to-eye on how much of their vision can become reality, but they should at least get some practical knowledge before doing these things.
