TEDxHouston - Dan Phillips
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDxTalks on Oct 6, 2010
Dan is a designer and builder in Huntsville, Texas. In 1998, he and his wife Marsha started The Phoenix Commotion, a construction company that builds affordable houses from reclaimed and recycled materials. Their mission is to divert landfill waste while creating sustainable housing for single mothers, artists, and families with low incomes. The Phoenix Commotion keeps labor costs low while reclaiming human potential. They use an apprentice program to teach sustainable building skills to individuals that volunteer or intern on the Phoenix Commotion Crew.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)

beautiful melding of aesthetics, philosophy, and pragmatism. Turn houses into organic works of innovation, not imitation!

I've been watching vids on Dan Phillips and his wonderful creations in the homes he builds and designs for HOURS now. I came across his vids while looking for vlogs about recycled materials for houses...I'm so glad I did, but now I'm hooked. The man is a MASTER OF MATERIALS AND DEISGNS :-) SuziMoose, NW Illinois, USA
