| Introduction | April Magill (recently being referred to as ‘The Dirt Queen’) is a licensed architect in the State of South Carolina with over 7 years of experience working in several of Charleston’s Architecture firms. Her experience ranges from custom residential to 700,000 sf govt. buildings. Always wanting to get out from behind the desk and to design and construct with her hands, April left the corporate world in early 2011, started a small business, and attended a Natural Building workshop where her previous boundaries within conventional construction were expanded. She quickly learned of this fast growing ‘Natural Building Movement’ which is thriving in cities in and outside of the US. April is pioneering the southeast Natural Building Movement by designing and building with these techniques and teaching workshops in and around the region. She recently led a pro-bono workshop to build an Earthen Oven. Though the Natural Building Movement is her main focus, she is also staying busy with a custom Passive Solar home design. Using her own two hands to build and create is expanding her into a more experienced, knowledgeable, and well-rounded architect. |
