EARTHSHIP SAILS IN VALENCIA, SPAIN APRIL 2004 EARTHSHIP SAILS IN VALENCIA, SPAIN APRIL 2004
EARTHSHIP SAILS IN VALENCIA, SPAIN APRIL 2004
Earthship Biotecture, based in Taos, New Mexico, Offering Two Acclaimed Earthship Seminar Workshops in Valencia An expert team of architects, contractors and trained builders will be in Valencia, Spain April 8 through April 14 to conduct two, three-day workshops in Earthship building. An Earthship is a sustainable, autonomous dwelling that gets its power from the sun and the wind, water from rain and snow, and treats its own sewage. Valencia workshop participants are traveling to Valencia from Barcelona, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Greece, Romania, America and other countries. Workshop training sessions, seminars, slide shows and round-table discussions will be conducted in both Spanish and English. Michael Reynolds, workshop leader and creator of the internationally respected and acclaimed Earthship, has been, for more than 30-years, developing and building sustainable living structures throughout the world. Seminar attendees will be shown how to build an Earthship through hands-on involvement and demonstrations of construction methods. They will build a demo Earthship on donated land outside Valencia. Mr. Reynolds and his team have conducted this type of workshop in India, Japan, Belgium, Scotland, Belize, England, Bolivia, America and other countries for more than 25-years. Two Valencia residents built an Earthship "Hut" structure after purchasing construction drawings from Earthship Biotecture at www.earthship.org. Valencia workshop attendees, working side-by-side with the American team, will construct the Hut's next phase. Seminars and hands-on training sessions in Valencia will cover passive solar heating, thermal mass construction, natural cooling and ventilation techniques, active solar power and wind systems, use of natural and recycled materials, rainwater catchment, integrated water re-use systems, gray and black water botanical cells. The history and development of the Earthship structure and systems will also be discussed. More than six different types of Earthship designs will be explained, including the Valencia structure. Earthship Workshops will be held in two sessions: Session One is April 8 to April 10; Session Two is April 12 to April 14. The cost of $500 per person includes lunch each day, with evening slide show and group discussion.
