Autorenporträt
Ed Paschich, artisan and master custom builder, is the owner of Passage Construction Company, Inc., in Corrales, New Mexico. Passage Construction consists of Ed, his father, Jack, and other family members. Jack grew up in an adobe home in Columbus, New Mexico, and dreamed of building modern adobe homes. Ed learned basic construction in Austin, Texas. In 1976 Ed and Jack formed Passage Construction, and have been building passive solar adobe homes in the high desert of the Southwest ever since. Ed's impetus for his latest contribution to sustainable architecture are his two children-actually all the world's children-who must learn to live and build lightly on our Earth.
