Eric Corey Freed is no stranger to being interviewed. As author of 11 books, an architect, keynote speaker, consultant and sustainability thought leader, he’s appeared on numerous stages, screens and in written columns.  In 2005 he was named “Best Green Architect” by San Francisco Magazine and in 2012 was named as one of the “Top 10 Most Influential Green Architects”. I hope you’re inspired and find some useful tips from this conversation about organic architecture with Eric Corey Freed.

Organic Architecture

The term “Organic Architecture” was first coined by one of Eric’s heroes, Frank Lloyd Wright. It’s a philosophy of architecture that has nature as its basis. Organic Architecture has similarities with biomimicry, but it’s not about copying nature, it’s about respecting natural materials, blending in to the natural environment and buildings that are an “honest expression” of their function.

As well as being an author and a thought leader, Eric Corey Freed is an architect. Check out his portfolio for more of his green design work.

Eric’s Home Design Tips

  1. Design for yourself, for the way you want to live
  2. Set audacious goals. A great principle for life, so why not also for your home?
  3. Think about where you put it (your house). Size and location have a big impact.

    The architects Eric talks about, yes the DoDo’s who build T H I C K Walls that are Low Carbon Foot Print but use twice or more materials to construct. These houses are vulnerable to Water, Fire and short lives, but still cost more than the regular energy wasting ones. They also use OSB as e a Vapour Air Barrier, yikes. they also hold courses that teach other to do the same, perpetual dodoism.that they call Passive House Certification.
