A presentation of contemporary houses that demonstrates how
domesticity can be beautiful and still help the planet. Have we
passed a tipping point beyond which we can no longer reverse a
course of action that was charted several decades ago Sustainable:
Houses with Small Footprints argues that we can indeed detach our
dwellings from a dependence on many external systems and resources
and adopt other building practices. What is known as living off the
grid is possible, and Sustainable presents forty-five houses that
demonstrate how architects have implemented sustainable design
concepts around the world. These projects show us what time-tested
vernacular design principles-including local materials, natural
ventilation strategies, and earth shelter construction-can teach
us, as well as how the latest cutting-edge technologies-such as
indoor farming and living walls made of plant material-can make
truly sustainable design possible. The variety and ingenuity of the
projects featured here make Sustainable a uniquely coherent and
authoritative volume on sustainable residential design.
