Garbage Warrior

The film “Garbage Warrior” presents the work and life of Michael Reynolds.

The architect, living in New Mexico, builds creative houses out of garbage. He uses recycled tyres, glass or plastic bottles and creates buildings in extraordinary forms based on his dreams, like thumbs or seashells. The special thing about the houses is that they use solar energy and the owners can produce their food on their own without going to the store. The gardens of Michael’s houses should become an amazon jungle so that the people can sit in it with animals.

In Reynold’s opinion, architecture can take us in the right direction concerning the environment. He thinks that we have to act now and change our behaviour otherwise we manage to make the planet uninhabitable.
