For the past 35 years, Mike Reynolds has developed a unique and innovative approach to the field of architectural design. Firmly rejecting what he views as the waste and inefficiency of conventional power-grid-dependent homes, Reynolds has revolutionized many people's conception of sustainable housing by fusing an elegant aesthetic with a practical, environmentally-conscious base.
Not only has Reynolds defined an alternative to the modern architectural paradigm, he has also vigorously sought to bring his innovations to third world countries and disaster-ravaged regions in a career centered around humanitarian aid.
After graduating from the University of Cincinnati in 1969, Mike Reynolds pursued a radically sustainable method of building homes. He continually evolved his ideas and crafted a movement he calls biotecture - the embracing of a carbon neutral foundation, while providing fundamental human needs of shelter, food, water and energy under one roof with no external support other than the environment.
