How does this reflect poorly on Michael Reynolds. His earthship design makes housing more sustainable and reliable. Sure he looks like a slob, but his actions speak otherwise.
they don't really. wasn't he being sued left and right and eventually struck off before arguing that his designs were experimental and not meant to be functional? apart from anything else, he posits himself as some sort of radical, yet he copyrighted his designs and terminology and sold them exclusively to the rich. probably right to bring him up here, as it's just as naive and politically ignorant as the zeitgeist movement.
this is my understanding from having briefly studied architecture years ago, feel free to correct me if i'm mistaken.
