018 Architecting the Future w/ Paul Richardson

Sustainability Now - exploring technologies and paradigms to shape a world that works

Bio-Architect Paul Richardson builds buildings and community where shelter transcends a roof and four walls to become fully self-reliant, self-regenerative, and economically viable—producing food and clean water, and managing and re-using all waste in balance with nature. Paul founded Haven Earth SEED (Stewardship Education & Ecological Design) Training Center — both a physical and virtual education training center — to create a template for eco-communities, bringing together the tools and techniques of self-reliant living, earth architecture, community building, and permaculture. With a team of experts in the fields of permaculture, off-grid living, water self-sufficiency, bio-dynamic structures for healing, and more, the intention is to find solutions to our present reliance upon unsustainable and unhealthy practices, and to create successful models for eco-communities internationally. Grounded in a commitment to conscious, ethical, earth-centered and earth focused principles, Paul is paving the way to a feasible future, a future worth living for.
