Agathe studied International Development at the University of East London and then obtained a Master in Education and Sustainability at London South Bank University. She then went to work with Earthship Biotecture, where she is now in charge of all International Builds.







This allows her enough free time to live in Mexico while not traveling with Earthship. She bought some land there a few years ago to create a self sufficient orphanage, inspired by Earthship principles and has built several structures thanks to committed funders. The Joya Orphanage will be open in the next couple of years.

Ricelli (Richi) is an architect by profession, artist by heart and musician in free time. After falling in love with permaculture, building with natural materials and communities, Richi now pursues a different way to practice architecture.







Richi worked and studied in Brazil with Johan van Lengen (author of The Barefoot Architect), in Indonesia (Green School Bali), Japan (Kyoto University) and Mongolia and continues to collect experiences in a search for a way of building that speaks to the aspirations of a more responsible architecture for human, nature and personal growth.

Gregoire Durrens is an engineer and eco-builder who works with Earthship Biotecture among others. After graduating from the FabAcademy and attending the Earthship Academy, he was inspired to bring together the diverse approaches to the use of technology to solve our most pressing global problems.



Fabships are off-grid workshops that empower communities to grow their own productive power to provide an alternative to the “take, make and dispose” mass-production mindset that is decimating our planet.



This conversation took place in Japan during the Mima academy building in November 2018.

A life spent building solutions

Michael Reynolds is the founder of Earthship Biotecture. He is an American architect based in New Mexico, known for the design and construction of Earthships which serve the following 6 principals:





They self-heat and the self-cool

They are made from recycled materials (used tyres and bottles)

They collect water

They treat sewage

They grow their own food

They generate their own power



Over the last 50 years Michael has been one the of the most prominent proponents of "radically sustainable living”. He has inspired generations of offgriders to construct buildings that are independent from the grid, multinationals and conventional thinking. His designs are guided by the principals of working with rather than against the Earth's natural phenomena: convection, gravity, solar gain, light, flow etc.



He has been a critic of the profession of architecture for its adherence to conventional theory and practice, and he advocates the reuse of unconventional building materials from waste streams, such as automobile tires, and is known for designs that test the limits of building codes around the world.
