In 2020...

Earthships provide an unconventional alternative to housing that symbiotically interacts with the natural environment. However, in 2020, only a few people are familiar with Earthships and even fewer inhabit one.

In 2050...

Earthships are commonplace and inspire the next generation of housing that also accounts for physical and psychological health needs. This redesign of housing and architectural innovation leads to the formation of the circle.house.

TLDR;

<aside> 🌎 Earthships address the following fundamental needs: food, energy, clean water, shelter, garbage management, and sewage treatment. Earthships help inspire the next generation of housing innovations.

Earthship Models - Earthship Biotecture

<aside> 💡 How might we build dynamic, modular earthships? How might we design for extreme affordability? (e.g. $100, $1000, $10,000, etc.)

</aside>

<aside> 💡 How might we build earthships to address psychological and mental health needs? (e.g. move upwards on 'architectural Maslow hierarchy of needs')

<aside> 💡 What will earthships 2.0 look like?
