Katrina chats to architect &amp; pioneer in ‘radically sustainable living’ Michael Reynolds. 

Michael is extremely well known for his design and construction of “earthship” (passive solar homes) and has been a critic of stereotypical architecture for decades. 

He challenges its adherence to conventional theory and practice, advocates the reuse of unconventional building materials from waste streams such as car tires, and is known for designs that truly test the limits of building codes. 

In this episode Michael shares his journey so far when it comes to rethinking housing, discusses what the future could look like and how we can already start to implement small changes in our everyday lives.
