Earthship Biotecture
An interesting attempt of creating sustainable housing( completely off the grid) in the harmony with nature and the environment by using waste products – tires, glass bottles, metal sheets, cans….along with natural materials.
Shanti, a frequent visitor, shares with us a story on Earthship which has started decades ago by Michael Reynolds in USA. Shanti explains basic design principles of Earthship Biotecture –
1. Thermal/Solar heating & cooling.
2. Solar/Winds electricity,
3. Water harvesting,
4. contained sewage treatment,
5. food production,
6. building with Natural & Recycled materials
