| InsideOut
Buildings produce housing-quality, eco-friendly garden
buildings: stylish garden offices and granny flats, and sumptuous
en-suite studios. Their garden offices require minimal heating,
no air conditioning and consume little electricity. InsideOut
garden offices,studios and granny flats are architect-designed,
personally project-managed and sensitively built with eco-friendly
materials. They are very well insulated, double-glazed and voluntarily
built to Building Regulation standards for new homes and public
buildings. All their garden office and accommodation buildings
are carefully finished with environmentally friendly larch cladding,
grown in carefully managed woodland in Scotland and Northumbria,
and are finished with individually nailed cedar roofing shingles
that mellow with the years. Browse this nicely designed site
to see an admirably modest approach to building in an eco-friendly
way. http://www.iobuild.co.uk/ |

Amancio
Guedes is an architect, a sculptor, a painter, and
many other things. He is known familiarly to many people as
Pancho Guedes. His organic, exuberant, eclectic, complex and
thoughtful buildings and projects have been published occasionally,
but they have not been sufficiently recognised for their quality
and originality. His visual imagination absorbed every influence,
from the art of Africa to the Surrealists, and synthesised
them into a style which is recognisably his own, however varied
the results appear at first glance. He was a post-modern 20
years before the term was invented, and he is still very active,
working in Portugal now, inventing new buildings, painting
and sculpting out a home on a steep hillside near Sintra in
Portugal. This
website is intended to provide information about his extraordinary
architecture and other work, and to begin a growing archive
of his work ....http://www.guedes.info

Moya
- low energy solar house in Suffolk, UK, designed by Cedric
Green, built in 1983. The design won 2nd prize in the 1st European
Passive Solar competition in 1980, and it is relevant again
now that we are entering another period of soaring energy prices
and concerns about global warming. It is a timber framed
structure with a high level of insulation and a very large solar
greenhouse off which all the rooms can open.
Cedric Green is now designing and building a new solar timber-framed
house in France, which can be viewed at : http://greenart.info/theves/.....

| Building
a Solar House - in France, Cedric Green is building
a ecological and bioclimatic house. This is a picture record,
- a plog rather than a blog - a series of albums of annotated
drawings and photographs, following the progress of the project,
from its inception to completion, recording the setbacks, the
frustrations, the rewards, the delays, the changes of direction,
the incidents and accidents along the way.... http://greenart.info/theves/ |

Architekturbüro
Sture Larsen - Sture Larsen is an independent architect
working in Vorarlberg, Austria. His most outstanding works
have been focused on solar and low-energy buildings. His work
with developing methods of building affordable low energy
housing brought him several awards beginning with the Binding
Award for Environmental Conservation, 1989, and culminating
in the Austrian State Award for Energy Research in 1997. His
site shows many examples of solar buildings he has designed..

Sundials - "With time,all we need is the Sun"
- Tony Moss designs and builds superb and amazing sundials.
His well designed site illustrates and describes his work. "
If you have a sundial design in mind but lack the facilities
to turn it into enduring bronze, a sad dial that has lost its
gnomon, a stolen dial to be replicated or any similar problem
I may be able to help provided you are prepared to wait patiently"
His dials are etched on bronze and plated sometimes in gold,
and he is starting to use electrolytic methods. Not strictly
architecture, but solar in a way ... http://www.lindisun.demon.co.uk/

| Arcosanti
- Arcosanti is a growing city in the Arizona desert
designed according to the concept of arcology (architecture
+ ecology), developed by Italian architect Paolo
Soleri. In an arcology, the built and the living interact
as organs would in a highly evolved being. This means many systems
work together, with efficient circulation of people and resources,
multi-use buildings, and solar orientation for lighting, heating
and cooling. Greenhouses provide gardening space for public
and private use, and act as solar collectors for winter heat.
Arcosanti is also an educational process. The five week workshop
program teaches building techniques and arcological philosophy,
while continuing the city's construction. Volunteers and students
come from around the world. People of many varied interests
and backgrounds are all contributing their valuable time and
skills to the project. ...http://www.arcosanti.org/project/main.html

Space aims to provide up-to-date, practical information
on environmentally responsible products and services available
in South Africa. All the products and services on this website
contribute in some way to the protection/conservation of our
country's natural resources. Search for information on organic
and biodegradable goods from wine to nappies; where to recycle
your household and office waste; solar energy systems grey water
systems...and much more. There are currently 80+ products and
services listed on this site. There is a growing concern amongst
South Africans about environmental degradation and the importance
of protecting and caring for the earth's natural resources.
Good resource including names of architects specialising
in green design (including Andy Horn and Malcolm Worby)....http://www.greenspace.co.za/index.php |
