Author Description

DASH goes in search of the ideal sustainable home: from sunspan and earthships, Drop City and the Kleine Aarde (Little Earth) to biomimicry, cradleƯtoƯcradle and superƯuse. This issue of DASH examines the history and the future of the sustainable home. This includes attention to families of typologies (passive solar energy, semiƯclimate and ventilation) and materialƯuse concepts. Essays and planning documentation provide not only a critical analysis of the current state of affairs, but also an inspirational exploration of possibilities for the future. With extensive documentation of trendsetting homes by such architects as Frank Lloyd Wright, Frei Otto, Future Systems, Lacaton & Vassal, DAAD and 2012Architecten.
