Zusammenfassung:Seeking the perfect escape from the city life and congestion? This book is filled with environmentally low-impact homes and retreats using ecofriendly materials and technology that reduce the carbon footprint and lower energy needs, all built within the past ten years. The broadening interest in back to nature and homesteading plays a role, and many new structures are examples of sustainability that are in touch with nature, far from the madding crowds but not only for the select few. International in scope, the book is an A to Z of ideas for the 21st century, from a pavilion in Argentina to a forest house in New Zealand, all designed to have minimal architectural traces - made with local materials that harmonize with the surrounding evironment. An outdoor care retreat outside Oslo provides space where visitors can benefit from the therapeutic qualities of nature; a residence in Tottori, Japan, adapts with the changing seasons; a tree house in Cape Town uses cylindrical towers that are elevated on stilts, offering views among the trees; in Quebec, three geodesic domes were designed as part of an eco-tourism project to highlight the area's natural beauty.
