What exactly is an earthship? This book tells you everything you need to know to answer that question, and more. Architecture is undergoing rapid change as the issues of climate change and cutting carbon emissions in buildings become more and more widely understood. The earthship is a building concept that has evolved over the last 30 years, and represents a pioneering form of zero carbon residential building that tackles a variety of sustainability issues. This book charts the building of the first earthships in the UK and their relevance to home building and architecture generally. It offers lessons about sustainable architecture and about the legislative and regulatory culture that affects their construction, by looking at energy, water, building with waste, and construction methods, and assessing the future of these buildings.
