Bryan Carman - Industrial Designer / Earthship Builder

Bryan Carman is an industrial designer, builder, artist, and writer from Adelaide, Australia. He also happens to be one of my best and oldest friends. We met over ten years ago at a sustainable design-build school in New Mexico. We've had countless conversations over the years but this is the first we've ever recorded. In it, I ask Bryan about his many different lines of work, passions and endeavors. We discuss our mutual love of Earthships, the design/build process, what makes the United States so simultaneously flawed and wonderful, some of Bryan's current art and writing projects, and if the rumors that he is coming to Utah this year are true.
