Prestel Return to the Source: New Energy Landscapes from
Book SynopsisThe Land Art Generator Initiative is one of the world’s most exciting design competitions and for its 2019 challenge, entrants from around the world were asked to create a renewable energy-producing artwork for the UAE’s Masdar City in Abu Dhabi. The winning designs are profiled in this generously illustrated volume. Each work demonstrates the aesthetic possibilities of renewable energy infrastructures. Capturing energy from nature and then converting it into power, these designs provide more than clean electricity to the city’s residents. They also offer space for recreation and contemplation, while challenging our assumptions about ecological systems, resource generation, consumption, energy storage, and climate change solutions. Best of all, they illustrate the possibilities of living well in a post-carbon future.

Instituto Monsa de Ediciones New Ecological Home, The
Book SynopsisSuccessful ecological architecture must take into account multiple factors within the construction process of a project, and the impact that construction will have during its life-cycle: from its planning, execution and use through its demolition at the end of its life. In addition to this, residential ecological architecture takes into account the specific needs of the people who will inhabit each home. The New Ecological Home showcases a wide variety of sustainable and ecological resources: from recouping traditional architectural solutions like cross-ventilation and taking advantage of natural light to new insulation and self-supplying energy systems.
