I enjoyed touring the Earthships years ago when I spent a week in Taos. It's a little bit funny though that it's sort of a little enclave of non-conformity that is itself I kind of conformity. Most people who want to be different don't necessarily want to be alone. It would be nice if there was less normality in architecture, if having a different home didn't have to be a "thing". Certainly with common goals and a desire to use commodity building materials there may be *some* limits to diversity but clearly that isn't the limiting factor in the lack of architectural diversity we see today.
Money is usually the driving factor for the conformity in architecture...lack of interest might be another. Also, local/county zoning and building codes play a large role in determining what creatives can get away with.
Hey, Gary. My wife Carol wants to subscribe, but the tech challenged Thompsons cannot find a subscribe button. How can I get eee4consulting@gmail.com onto your subscription list?
