Earthships: The individual within the whole

I visited the Earthships a few years ago, and have used them as precedent studies within a number of projects. Their paradoxical embrace of both self-reliance and interdependecy are poetry through function.

Although I couldn't see a whole world dotted by these off-grid houses, I could see a whole world teeming with their sensibility (a utopia, no doubt): Keep your environment personal, take time to think creatively, and always remember that you are part of a larger whole.
