We hung out with Tom Bender to talk about the spiritual side of sustainability and architecture.

Yestermorrow has so many great classes from basic carpentry to designing your own house.
I mashed together our interview with Dan Eckstein and some of the things we explored with him on Yestermorrow’s campus.
I attended The Ecosa Institute in the Spring of 2005. It’s a ’sustainable’ design program, but as Tony points out in the video, they welcome a variety of people whether they are currently students or not. Ecosa focuses on real projects with real clients which doesn’t normally happen in architecture or design school. The most important experience I had there was meeting people who were actually doing things, which inspired me to go on this road trip and meet more people doing things!
We visited Paperhand Puppet Intervention in Durham, North Carolina. They collaborate with the local community to perform large shows, march in parades and facilitate school experiences as well as participate in protests and generally make some old fashioned puppet noise.
Many of their stories are centered around nature and environmental issues but they have a wide range of topics from John Henry stories to the enlightenment of Buddha.
