Very clever & innovative - I like how it integrates food production as well.

yeah!! a friend showed me these a while back. I get all excited by sustainable architecture/living. It's nice to see fellow Ubuntu/Linux users into this too. Have you seen some of the photos? They have a main page that, at least at one time, had a lot of great photos up. Hey, I've never seen one in person, but some of the pictures really make them look beautiful on the inside, like it just depends on the design and time and care put into it. I especially like how distinct they are architecturally. For a movement trying to branch away from mainstream commercial/consumerism and all, I think it's very fitting. Makes me think of a science-fiction genre, or a little like a dwelling you might see from a video game like Zelda or Secret of Mana, you know like where you go to rest up, by some armor and potions.... :)

I like it - it brings back memories of plans I had for a house in the desert, back when I was a wee lad... maybe it's time to look seriously at this again...
