More than ever before people around the world are becoming concerned with the way we're treating our environment and resources. And the reaction we get in return from it...
For my last year project in Industrial Design I made it my task to design a completely self sustained, "zero" to "energy plus" building, prefabricated but still customizable and easy to set up.
My questions, if you'd build a house or are looking to buy one:
Can you imagine and would you like a completely different shape to conventional buildings? For what reasons, - strength, solar gain, corners are not natural, aerodynamics...?
What do you expect or want from a home?
What makes it comfortable to you?
What luxuries should it have?
How much would you consider natural forces in the design, such as storms, earthquakes, flooding and fire?
Have you built before or know people that have, or lived in such a place and is there anything you'd do different next time?
Any input would be much appreciated |
