Dr. Martin Freney has spent the past decade+ invested in the concept of the Earthship.
Inspired by books written in the 1980s by Michael Reynolds - founding father of the eco-home movement, Martin dove headfirst into this solutions-based construction niche in search of a better way to steward our planet.
After living in, building, and studying Earthship design he decided to go all-in and base his Ph.D. Thesis on the movement in an attempt to legitimize the field scientifically.
His work in; Earthship Architecture: post-occupancy evaluation, thermal performance, and life cycle assessment - has contributed significantly to the field of Earthship Biotecture both scientifically and practically.
Now leading the push of Earthships being constructed by Solarpunks all around the Australian Country, Dr. Freney's Earthship - 'Ironbank' commodores this fleet. Its role as a demonstration sailing off the grid with him as the captain, along the plains of our sunburned country, is more important than most people think.
It's no wonder he's responsible for the education, design, and construction of the vast majority of Earthships here in Australia. As you will hear in our conversation - this SolarPunk knows what he's talking about.
