Join EWB-LA for a special presentation by guest speaker Jonah Reynolds, son of founder/principal of New Mexico-based Earthship Biotecture. For decades Earthship Biotecture has been working to bring some unconventional yet very practical and affordable construction practices into the mainstream, one “Earthship” at a time, with a goal to evolve the way humans live on this planet. 

 

Earthship Biotecture has been designing and building Earthship homes all over the world and has received much attention for its mixed use of natural materials along with societal byproducts, such as tires, bottles, and cans. These unique structures have been designed to reduce humankind’s impact on the planet while at the same time strengthen our connection to it through features such as passive solar heating/cooling, PV power, rainwater catchment, grey/black water treatment, and more. 

 

Jonah will be giving a general overview of what it means to build an “Earthship”, and share details of some Earthship Biotecture projects. Mark your calendar!!http://www.earthshipbiotecture.com/
