GENERAL
Andy Horn is a qualified professional architect with over 12 years of working experience. With a passion for the environment, he established his own architectural practice in 1998, called Eco Design – Architects & Consultants. The practice has had a strong emphasise on the use of local natural materials, involving user participation and on-site training. Andy has often had to apply a personal hands-on approach to parts of the construction, involving physical building and training work. This continues to inform his art in the use of natural materials especially in straw bale, earth building and masonry dome construction. Clients have included: Namaqua National Parks, Mondi Forests, WESSA, Conservation International, International Fauna and Flora, Eskom, National Water Saving Campaign, South African Heritage Resource Agency, Hantam Municipality as well as numerous individual private clients, businesses and development planning teams. Aside to architecture, Andy has held a part time environmental design lectureship post with the University of Cape Town’s Department of Architecture and has presented and published numerous papers, articles and photographs as well as illustrated books and pamphlets.
