Earthship Brighton is a self-sustainable building, created in 2006 and owned by the Low Carbon Trust (a non-profit organisation), and situated in Stanmer Park, Brighton, Sussex.〔("Earthship Green Homes" ). ''MAKE''.〕 The building is an example of passive solar design and was constructed using waste car tyres and other recycled materials, such as cans and bottles. The structure incorporates rammed earth tyres, renewable power systems and rainwater harvesting. It uses the planet’s natural systems to provide heat, power and water and is designed to work as an autonomous building.〔("Earthship Brighton - Low Carbon Trust" ). ''engagingplaces.org.uk''. 〕 The Low Carbon Trust (originally the Low Carbon Network) crew were trained by Mike Reynolds, who designed the Earthship structure and is the founder of Earthship Biotecture.〔("Europe 5 - Page 5" ). ''earthshipeurope.org''. 〕 Earthship Brighton is currently one of only two Earthships in the UK and was the first Earthship to be built in England. 〔("Build Your Own Earthship: the Ultimate Sustainable Home!" ). ''sustainablebuild.co.uk''. 〕 Earthship Brighton is used as a community and education centre, with regular guided tours for the public.〔 http://ww3.brighton-hove.gov.uk/index.cfm?request=b1114322&node=1556&event_id=80AC17EBFA0456AC802573330042CC93&action=showEvent&caller=search 〕 It is used as a venue for various green building courses, including a three-day course on ‘Self-building an Earthship’.
