    Michael Reynolds designs and builds sustainable homes called Earthships using natural and recycled materials. Some key features of Earthships include producing their own electricity, collecting water and handling sewage, and growing their own food. Reynolds has been building Earthships in New Mexico since the 1970s using materials like beer cans, clay, plastic bottles, and tires. Though initially rejected, Earthships are now recognized as valid constructs for their sustainability and ability to regulate temperature without air conditioning by being partially buried. Reynolds hopes to show that waste materials can be recycled and reused creatively to help maintain the planet.

    ARCHITECTURE
    MICHAEL REYNOLDS GARBAGE WARRIOR.

    Now the American dream is to survive


    MICHAEL REYNOLDS.

    GARBAGE WARRIOR
    Michael Reynolds designs and builds houses in the heat and cold, whose buildings from natural and recycled materials, produce their own electricity, collect their own water, sewage and grow their own food.

    Michael Reynolds has 35 years breaking the rules of conventional architecture and society. Since the seventies, began building a settlement in a New Mexico desert with beer cans, clay, plastic bottles and old tires. There are few fans of Reynolds, as they have built around 2,000 houses Earthship (literally, ship earth).

    This working system has been rejected by politicians and colleagues who only in recent years (curiously from the great Tsunami disaster) recognize the validity of these constructs. His story was made into a film under the title "Garbage Warrior" (Warrior of the garbage), shown at international festivals, which offers hope to those who want to believe in a lifestyle that respects the environment.

    Michael Reynolds was formed in the schools of architecture in your country to break with tradition after he had learned. Now try to show that each plastic bottle or used tire is also an example of recycling and creativity, a contribution to the maintenance of the planet.

    Reynolds lives in a large plateau of New Mexico, where its headquarters and home, grow their own plants and design new projects.
    We witness a method that is repeated in different designs of Earthship: tires half buried structures in the form of "U". The reason: the half-buried structure to regulate the temperature of the housing unit with the temperature of the earth and the large thermal inertia that this construction system contains, so it is unnecessary to use air conditioning systems.

    Imagine invest only $ 49 a year in the maintenance of your home, your home take advantage of sunlight for heating and rain water percolating for domestic use and watering plants. Imagine further that do not depend on oil and does not pollute.

    In this we see how the bottles are placed in the construction of the wall.

    In it we see a finished house from outside, by their shape and composition can be deduced that part of the organic architecture.
