{"product_id":"sustainable","title":"Sustainable","description":"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.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57318554665342,"sku":"NW9780847843725","price":19.53,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780847843725.jpg?v=1778725138","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/sustainable","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
