Spending a day with Fisk on his 18-acre work site outside of Austin, Texas is like riding a rocket blast into the future.

“To be free to do what we’re doing is absolute magic,” Fisk recently told CNN.

Pliny Fisk opened the non-profit Center for Maximum Potential Building (CMPB) in 1975 and he also teaches architecture at Texas A&M University.

Fisk’s mission is to develop environmentally-sustainable building materials and to fundamentally change the way we build our communities, like homes and office buildings.
