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.

100 preguntas que nos hemos hecho sobre Puerto Rico en la Nueva Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad Politécnica de Puerto Rico

An architecture school celebrates its 10th anniversary by publishing representative student work, but concerned with how readers often fail to acknowledge and ultimately disregard the relevance of student ideas, reducing them to mere image-making. Instead of listing projects by type or name, it was decided they would be presented in question format (bilingually), underlining the importance of inquiry over image. Question entries numbered from 1 to 100 (grouped by theme) predetermined the books format. Elegance (it is about architecture) and informality (but also about students) had to be...
