Twelve miles in the desert outside of Taos, across the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, you come upon The Greater World Earthship Community nestled among the cactus. Earthships are passive solar homes made of natural and recycled materials. They were first conceived by Mike Reynolds in the 1970s and represent a form of biotecture: architecture that integrates the natural world into design and structures.

The outer walls are constructed of earth-packed tires that utilize thermal mass to naturally regulate indoor temperature. Internal, non- load-bearing walls are made of a honeycomb of recycled cans joined by concrete. Multi-colored glass bottle designs are often used to both decorate and illuminate these unusual structures.

Mike Reynolds has built Earthships all over the world. However, varying state and county regulations have restricted construction of Earthships in the United States.
