This is my account of the Earthship Academy of April 2024 in Taos, New Mexico. It is a detailed account of many aspects of building and can be best understood after following an academy oneself.

Earthships are off grid houses, designed to follow 6 principles, that will take care of their occupants. They use in parts materials that others consider garbage and utilize the sun, rain and plants to provide comfort.
The academy was an awesome experience. Over the course of a month we learned a lot, both theoretically as well as hands on skills. Everything we need to build an Earthship. I tried to combine this knowledge into this video.
Ultimately, me and my partner will go to Southern Europe and try to build a community. This will require a lot of renovation of buildings as well as building new houses and infrastructure. This video will be my guide.

I got inspired by two other YouTube videos:
Earthship Solution Full Explanation - Great movie ... and I stole their animations -    • Earthship Solution Full Explanation  
Global Model Earthship Animation - Not a current model anumore, but gives a good overview -    • Global Model Earthship Animation
