Grahame Caine, a fifth year Architectural Association student, begins building Britain's Eco-House at Thames Polytechnic Greenwich to prove a self reliant, low waste home. The two year experiment aims to generate methane from sewage, hydroponic greens, solar heating, and wind power with minimal external services. Supported by Greenwich and Greater London Councils, it seeks to challenge centralized utilities and urban design with human scale technology.
