Off Grid: Nature Powered Homes

Resumen 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.

La arquitectura en el siglo XX venezolano

En palabras de Lorenzo González Casas, el siglo XX «fue una era inédita de globalización de la arquitectura», en la que la idea de lo moderno se propagó por el mundo. En el ámbito venezolano, la pasada centuria estuvo marcada por el petróleo, la modernidad, la gran ciudad y el establecimiento de una «nueva tradición disciplinar en arquitectura», que lidia con la tensión entre lo permanente y lo transitorio. Tomando en cuenta estas variables, el presente volumen trae a discusión asuntos centrales en torno al debate arquitectónico, la búsqueda que se planteó desde la disciplina...
