Rain water is caught, filtered and used
throughout the house and sewage treatment
is contained.
Solar and wind energy are
harvested and used directly.
Earthships are made of up-
cycled materials.
Sustainable indoor gardening is made
possible by the indoor
greenhouses, a living, food
providing aspect of each building.
Tire walls insulate the house keeping it
cool or warm without use of air
conditioning or heating.
What is an EARTHSHIP?
An Earthship is a radically sustainable house built with up-cycled materials. In other words, out of our GARBAGE. They are built following a method developed over the course of 30 years of architectural experimentation by Mike Reynolds in New Mexico and what is now called Earthship Biotecture. Since the walls are built with used tires which are packed with earth, the buildings are designed to withstand just about anything while providing for the people living inside them. Living in a house made from garbage may sound strange, but when you think about it, our trash is
accessible and in constantly growing abundance all over our planet. This building method is extremely practical all over the world, especially in terms of response to relief. Earthship Biotecture has taught entire communities in Haiti, and in many other places in desperate need of sustainable solutions, how to build shelter for themselves from the ground up.
