Earthship Guide




The Earthship movement, led by visionary architect Michael Reynolds, is transforming the world of sustainable housing. With a focus on using recycled materials and passive solar design, Earthships are self-sustaining homes that minimize their impact on the environment. For more information on this groundbreaking movement, be sure to visit Reynolds' website at www.earthship.com.

  • Earthships are a type of sustainable, off-grid housing that are designed to be self-sufficient and environmentally friendly.
  • They are typically built using natural and recycled materials, such as tires, glass bottles, and cans.
  • Earthships are designed to be energy-efficient, using passive solar heating and cooling, natural ventilation, and thermal mass to regulate the interior temperature.
  • They often incorporate renewable energy systems, such as solar panels, wind turbines, and rainwater harvesting.
  • Earthships are designed to be self-contained, with systems for collecting and treating water, composting toilets, and greywater recycling.
  • They are often built with a greenhouse or indoor garden, providing a source of fresh produce year-round.
  • Earthships are designed to be adaptable to different climates and locations, with variations in design to accommodate different weather patterns and local materials.
  • They are often built in remote or rural areas, but can also be adapted to urban environments.
  • Earthships promote a sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle, reducing reliance on traditional infrastructure and resources.

And if you want to see the Earthship concept in action, take a virtual tour of the Earthship community near Taos, New Mexico in this awe-inspiring video. You'll see firsthand how these innovative homes are not only eco-friendly, but also beautiful, comfortable, and functional. Don't miss out on this opportunity to discover a new way of living in harmony with the planet.

Oblivion Sky Tower

Image
A Futuristic Modern Architecture Box (dubbed the Sky Tower) nestled in the surreal setting above the clouds in the (futurist post apocalyptic) movie Oblivion  (2013) written and directed by Joseph Kosinski . The home takes some obvious inspiration from the Stahl House aka Case Study # 22 by Architect Pierre Koenig . The home has some obvious improvements with the the extended helipad over the see through acrylic infinity pool. The foundation of the home is on a unbelievably thin single (steel?) column that seems to be unaffected by the wind throughout the movie. The Director Joseph Kosinski conceived of the sky tower design with early 3D modeling renderings that he made. Joseph Kosinski graduated from Columbia University with a degree in Architecture that explains the strong modern design elements in his work. Kosinski admits that his production design team refined his early ideas into finished reality . The set is a crisp clean design and the frameless glass wall

32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright

I was recently reading an article from the September issue of 1956 House and Home and was astounded to see an interesting FLLW article with tips for the average home builder. As I was reading through the article I was realizing that those tips and advise were still just as pertinent today as it was in 1956. The particular house the article refers to is the Zimmerman house built in Manchester, New Hampshire. The home is part of a series of homes that Wright built known as the Unisonian Homes that were low cost homes for moderate income families. 32 Simple and Basic Design Ideas of Frank Lloyd Wright 1. Stress the Horizontals. (a) Stretch the roof line. (b) Keep the fascia in one straight line except for a good reason. (c) Define a strong middle line. 2.

Bruce Goff's Ledbetter House

Image
In 1948, Bruce Goff, a renowned Organic Architect, designed and constructed the Ledbetter House in Norman, Oklahoma. One of the most distinctive features of this unique home is its striking carport floating entry, which is supported by steel cables and provides both shelter and aesthetic interest. The Ledbetter House is a stunning example of Goff's Organic Architecture style, which emphasizes the harmonious integration of buildings with their natural surroundings. The house is situated on a wooded site, and Goff incorporated the landscape into the design of the home. The interior of the house features an open floor plan, ample natural light, and stunning views of the surrounding trees. Goff's use of unconventional materials and construction techniques is one of the most notable aspects of the Ledbetter House. He used materials such as steel prefabricated trusses and stones, which were incorporated into the design in creative ways. The ceiling of the home is made of corr
