Progettare secondo natura
Nancy J. Todd, John Todd
editore: Elèuthera
pagine: 236
Questo libro, che spazia da riflessioni teoriche a esempi concreti, presenta un approccio alla progettazione fondato sulla trentennale esperienza degli autori. Integrando sofisticate tecniche costruttive e informatiche con l'interazione tra elementi biologici e non-biologici dell'ambiente, i Todd fanno incursioni in campi diversi tra loro come l'urbanistica, le tecniche di coltivazione e allevamento e persino l'ingegneria navale. Nel testo vengono affrontati progetti di grandi dimensioni, come la riconversione ecologica del centro di Manhattan, e progetti molto specifici, come le cupole geodetiche (o "bioricoveri"), alternando dati sperimentali e progetti "utopici" lungo le linee della nuova sensibilità ecologica. Una lettura ricca di suggestioni ma anche di concreti suggerimenti e riferimenti per chi intende "progettare secondo natura".
