Home Sweet Earthship - Autonomous Building

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=earth-talks-earthship

The Scientific American magazine has rather recently published an article featuring "earthships", an increasingly sought after type of autonomous building, mostly found in the southwestern states of New Mexico and Colorado. The idea of the "earthship" originated in the town of Taos, NM, a town which features several communities of these so-called "earthships". The homes are built by "natural and recycled materials, such as old tires and recycled cans", and are meant to be as autonomous as possible from infrastructural support. While a vast majority of fanatic environmentally friendly homes appears as just that - fanatic, these houses on the other hand features a more conventional design (perhaps the reason for the rising popularity?), and appears rather modern and comfortable.
