Listening

Part 2

You will hear part of a lecture about an architect called Josh Keysall, who became famous for designing environmentally friendly houses known as Earthpods. For questions 7-15, complete the sentences with a word or short phrase.

Soon after graduating, Keysall thought up a successful way of providing 7 in the construction of buildings.

In his first Earthpod, Keysall used 8 instead of bricks to make the walls.

The speaker says the Earthpods are passive solar buildings with walls which are like 9 in the way they function.

Keysall uses the term 10 to describe the independence of his Earthpods from conventional energy sources.

An Earthpod originally used as a 11 in Switzerland was specially adapted for the climate.

In Belgium, safety regulations prevented Keysall from using 12 to construct an Earthpod.

In the UK, an Earthpod project involved the protection of some 13 living in the area.

Following complaints about defects such as 14 Keysall lost his professional status.

A film called 15 has been made about Keysall's life, work and legal battles.
