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.

Antes de la idea

Publicar arquitectura es mucho más que mostrar proyectos o productos del que uno o más arquitectos son autores. Hacer y, complementariamente, enseñar hoy arquitectura es un proceso integral y holístico del que participan numerosos actores y que se basa en el procesado crítico de información antes, durante y después de la producción de las ideas que se convertirán en proyectos y, eventualmente, en edificios. La principal característica de nuestra época es que el flujo de información disponible acerca de cualquier tema es inabarcable, y que el acceso a ella es instantáneo y masivo. ...
