Michael Reynolds to [Client] re: starting a project

i suggest the most basic economical thing we can do.

this is smart for funding reasons for the first project, but also it is smart because the people in the area around this site have need to learn how to build something very economical - this project could provide that knowledge.

i would be glad to make a more expensive model but this simple survival model seems most appropriate for this situation. it is very easy and quick to build

Hace más de treinta años, Mike Reynolds, un joven arquitecto recién licenciado vio en televisión un reportaje sobre las ingentes cantidades de basura que se generaban en las ciudades norteamericanas.

by Michael Reynolds...

The EB intern program is aimed at both sharing what we have learned in forty years in the trenches of the green movement and looking for possible recruits to help us.  We are in effect building an earth army.  It is working.  No revolution has ever been beautifully organized.  They are all “down and dirty”, “shoot from the hip” kind of operations.  In fact no government has ever been beautifully organized even though they try to provide the image that they are.  Well, we at EB are not even trying to provide the image of immaculate organization or management.  We are and have been a “down and dirty”, “shoot from the hip” movement.  Given this true confession...

Michael Reynolds, the developer, trained as an architect, but he wasn’t satisfied with the traditional architecture he was exposed to in the industry. He was interested in recycling, and he also wanted to build without leveling forests. After tinkering with cans and bottles, he turned to car tires and dirt.
