Off Grid: Nature Powered Homes

Sinopsis del Libro

Interest in living off the grid, i.e. self-sufficiently without relying on public services such as the municipal water supply, electricity, or local sewage and gas systems, has come on the scene as a greener, cheaper, and more independent way of life. Homes that are off-grid generally allow for a smaller carbon footprint, and a sense of freedom and self-sufficiency. Living Off-Grid sets you free from depending on a company, either using solar panels, wind turbines, a micro water system, or a combination of these technologies. Other times, an Off-Grid system can work as an energy backup or be complemented by the grid when renewable technologies cannot produce all the energy needed. We have gathered different examples of nature-powered homes, which are partially or completely off-grid, to focus on the importance of these homes, which put sustainability first.

Rogelio Salmona

Colombian architect Rogelio Salmona has translated pragmatic and poetic concepts and intentions into physical form. These result from the architect's deep communion with and understanding of the materials and processes, as well as of the historic-cultural context in which his architectural intervention takes place. Salmona's oeuvre, including such notable examples as the Torres del Parque (1967) in Bogota, the Presidential House for Illustrious Guests (1981) in Cartagena, the Quimbaya Museum (1983) in Armenia and the National Archive of the Nation (1992) in Bogota, is without doubt one of the ...
