In 2010, Hilary Scruggs led her team to design and build a prototype for sustainable and affordable living in San Antonio, Texas. With inquisitive looks from passers-by, two aluminum encased homes rose out of a small plot in the Southtown neighborhood.
This is the Biering Project.
Supplementing the project is the following short documentary, Southtown Greenbound, which discusses the team’s experience designing and building the Biering. The film features conversations with an inhabitant, a builder, a sustainable building science expert, a developer, a realtor, as well as the designer herself – touching on issues of sustainable design and development. Enjoy!
