I worked on most of these houses with Dan as a construction worker. Dan is a true artist and brings out the artistic values of all his helpers. I am glad to have had the chance to work with him.
That's awesome.
Coolll man , so gelous
That is so awesome! I would love to meet him, he's my hero!
The world need more people like this man
Dan was such an inspiration to my environmental design students. He was so kind to take so much time to talk with them and did so much to change their way of thinking.
The best solutions are not the ones that are high-tech. The best solutions that work. Clearly, his low-tech solutions work, in many ways better than many high-tech homes. TED is not about technology, it's about ideas. This is a great idea. I like this.
I always liked weird, unusual and unique houses. I'm annoyed by those neighborhoods where every house looks the same, I want a house that I can distinguish as my own. Interesting talk, I think we do waste a lot so we can fit a cookie-cutter style house and we can learn a lot from people who think outside the box and find uses for things we would normally throw away because it isn't perfect.
He's Funny & Very Knowledgeable. He also Recycles & uses it on homes is Amazing !!! :)
Love it !!! :)
Wow I am in love with this concept and I believe we should all live and build like this,. This concept is The concept of the house I want to build with every fiber of my BEING!!!!!
Dan Phillips, thank you! What an inspiration to question the status quo, to re-think design. The humor was also much appreciated.
While not world-changing, this video still encompass the three ideas that TED stands for: Technology, Entertainment and Design
This guy is a genius!! I love that he reclaims soooo much of the materials he uses. God bless you and everything you put your hands to.
This guy is fascinating.
I get such a good feeling of this humble man. He is a really special man of great insight courage with a cheeky down to earth sense of humour. God bless you Dan :))) coltrump🇳🇿
what a creative man
Dan is so great. If you can still find them, there are several really neat, long videos featuring him and some of the houses he built with homeowners here on RUclips.
Alex, Greg, Martha, promise me to listen to this in it's entirety! I loved it! Everyone needs to hear this!
Mad mad love and respect for Mr. Dan Phillips!
Waste not, Want not concept! There's enormous creativity and fruition in every individual! Utilization in all arenas is the magical key! Well said Dan!!!
i truly loved this, as a young adult i really enjoy learning these things and learning to see differently than the people around me this is just awesome
Mr Dan Phillips, Where have you been all my life. AMAZING!!! and LOVE LOVE LOVE your work. Keep it up. I am truly inspired by your life work.
Thank You!!!
I want to watch this over and over again. It rings true to my soul...and he’s freaking hilarious! What a mind!
this is an old video but is very inspiring!!!!
I can honestly say that this by far the best Tedtalk I have seen.Excellent
this is a wonderful way of making 1) a home and 2) a form of usefull art... thank you Dan I love the work you do
"I bet all your shoes match."
Brilliant line!
Omg what a magical man, absolutely Astonishing unbelievable I would love one of his wonder homes where are you located you are something else I’ve never seen anything like it the dedication it took to do the cork floors it’s just amazing the framed ceiling made out of corner frames salvage I need all of it is just amazing
That was much deeper than a talk about housing. I am inspired.
Great sense of humor, and design!!! Love it!😇⛄😇⛄😇💐
This is it ! This is the BEST TED EVER !!! Finally we have a construction saint with a Will Rogers sensibility! To HELL with the damn codes and the freaking regulations. The best days of my life were in a driftwood shack right on the beach in the 60's. Let the new era of damn the torpedoes begin. Materials and methodology are everywhere; Especially the dump ! EPIC PERSONALITY, let's see a lot more of this guy. In fact, make him the building authority before he gets ideas about retiring!
this was a thrilling 18 minutes talk! It was so engaging and illuminating! Great talk.
Yes I agree-if more people thought like this it would be a better world. I always liked quirky houses and I want to build a rounded room on to the cabin I'm building, I have no clue of how to go about it yet but where there's a will there's a way!
I think I would enjoy living in one of those - look comfy
Great talk and I really like his houses. Very unique looks that I would love to have one of them
It's been awhile since I watched a TED video I actually liked or was interested in.
I loved this talk! It was enlightening and funny.
Wonderful video. This is what TED is all about. More Talks like this.
I shove my garbage in glass jars with lids and I will soon have a much needed new extension in my barn . I am also not paying for garbage pick up . I vemicompost all my food waste and my paper. I even have a composting toilet which did wonders in 20 below . My bathroom extension is also made from glass jars. Mike Reinolds is a genius and this man just proved it.
WOW That houses are beautiful!!!
This guy is a genius!
love the way he thinks.. amazing!
I wish every community had a bonded Phillipsian carpenter.
What a cool guy.
years ago I saw a children's animated movie about a city with a trash problem, along comes a man who removes the trash and builds stuff. He builds a castle for himself from the trash of the city.
In the end of the story the people want him to pay for the trash and accuse him of stealing it from them, they raid his castle and drive him out of the city.
i wonder if he has a book, love his outlook on things
Absolutely brilliant talk, what an inspiring man and soo funny too.
I have always been a recycler, a bit of a womble really but now I shall look t everything with a view to a new use x x
loved this speech, thank you
Amazing thought provoking creative inspiration!
I love this guy!
this was awesome
what a cool talk// Practical and simple-brilliant
Finally TED is back!!!!
Very inspiring! It would be fun to build a community under Ted's guidance.
I absolutely totally get this ! Had a moment with a roadside bomb years back...and now I do like Dan does...😀
Awesome talk, Awesome talker.
This is not about houses - this is about YOU.
Awesome stuff!
finally! ted talks was on the downhill for quite a while. Finally a good one!
Dan Phillips - what a legend!
reclaim stuff and reclaim your life again.
+Studio Tvastra Do we have to suffer a ecological disaster before we understand what we are doing wrong ?
Now that's using your imagination to become part of the sustainable solution.
Love this guy and Mike Renolds!
Wonderful how difficult of a time this beautiful fellow hasshutting his creative brain off, falling and staying asleep that is
This guy is my new hero.
SO TRUE :-) Brilliant..BRAVO!
Dan is terrific!
"Housing is a commodity" = some people are homeless so that house builders and real estate pros can make a profit.
People in power are greedy
Exactly.
@y0nd3r It might be but I have grown a lot of them in my day and when he zooms in on it you can even see it is in the early blooming stage as well as the 5 and 7 pronged leaves. Either way it nice plant and really cool houses.
I'm loving the Ewok house at 10:33!
Si loved this presentation.
This is awesome
now this is a ted talk!
Bravo! C'est superb! Merci beaucoup... ^^
@zesisman I've been in a lot of his homes. They are actually very well isolated because he uses very thick wood for all siding of his homes. When I talked to Dan, his biggest concern was isolation.
i love this guy
What did he use to seal up and finish the wood bathtub? I would love to try to make one.
Great talk. I enjoyed his designs as creative works, but i wouldn't find those houses practical. If i had one of that type made to my specs, it may be.
The thing that stood out and slapped me in the face was the realization that he was right about many people reordering the Maslov's pyramid in their life. Luckily i'm not one of them, and i've been stunned by people i've met who've done this and are not stupid in general. Now it makes a bit more sense to me.
when a man knows what he is doing, it is sexy.
A cerebral builder...how often have you heard those two words put together? Great talk. Entertaining, thought provoking, but sadly true!
I just reminded myself that I have still have to shed some of the brain washing: When I first see some of Dan's house images I ask "But... is it to code?" LOL We need to change "code" thinking and laws. The funny thing is that you can build a staircase that is stronger than code, but if it is not to code, they can tell you to tear if out. That is one of the things that needs to change. TED Talks is a good start towards creating a more open minded box for us to "think inside of".
I thougt America is the land of freedom and all you talk about is code. I felty more free as a kindergartenkid in my parents house
that was an awesome speech
I would love to work for this guy
This guy is awesome!
Very inspiring talk.
4:26 awkward clap moment
FABULOUS!
This guy is awesome haha
Wow, I want to be this man when I grow up.
respect! :D
I would LOVE to live in one of those houses. So "organic". Straight lines are not harmonious to living creatures, IMHO. That's why I love Spanish and Hobbit architecture, too. :-)
I like this guy!
@GrudgyDiablo I agree. I have a laundry shoot in my house 2, but it has a thick steel liner and steel lid so fire can't fly thru to the upstairs. Good luck getting a building inspector to pass the branch railing. Where I live, the only way u could build like that is if it was a cottage out in the boonies, & out of the inspector's jurisdiction - & if you had no intention of insuring it. Sadly, a lot of people live in deplorable housing and these little houses would certainly be a step up.
If this guy ever gets tired of building he could easily go into standup.
Dan your the man !!
I'm doin the same !
Love it !
Wulf
Wow!
amazing
Try doing things differently and it can work wonders. Now this is called creative thinking - Just have a look at the bathtub in the bathroom he has made. Nice video.
this guys brilliant
Thank God some people are actually doing rather than just complaining.
Very Interesting
Is anyone else getting borderline obsessive like me about upcycling stuff? I've just recently started collecting a box of odds and ends that normally would be thrown out and I think "one of these days I'm gonna make something useful out of this crap." Which of course I probably won't, but at any rate, Im starting to see just how much trash I generate and it's a bit alarming, because it's just me and I don't consider myself a huge consumer. Who knows, maybe one day I'll have enough crap to build a house of my own..
Cool as fuck, some great ideas and some stunning houses.
Love it!!
this is my new idol :)
7:10 - what is that house's roof shingled with? Anybody?
There is a pot plant to the left in the first photo.
not only hes smart ass hippy but hes also smart-ass funny XD
that guy is godlike
Do you get the feeling this guy likes beer?
