Instagram Colombia Visible on Instagram: "La Casa Bioclimática de la Fundación para la Conservación de la Energía y la Naturaleza (@funcener) se ha convertido en un laboratorio de prácticas y estrategias de arquitectura sostenible que pueden implementarse para fomentar la sostenibilidad y la protección de los recursos naturales en grandes ciudades como Bogotá, donde está ubicada su sede. Su objetivo es demostrar que sí es posible construir viviendas con materiales más amigables con el ambiente, como el bahareque y la guadua, al tiempo que se implementan sistemas de energías renovables dentro de las mismas.

Bioliving by DesignFrom Grey to Green: Bringing Biophilic Design to Urban Life — Bioliving by DesignOur world is increasingly dominated by man-made structures and urban expansion. In the face of this rapid urbanisation, biophilic design principles aim to reconnect humanity with nature, addressing the growing disconnect. This design approach transcends architectural trends, tapping into the deep-ro

Mostly I'm interested in getting this book that was mentioned in the article: "A Moratorium on New Construction," by Charlotte Malterre-Barthes

"To pause new construction—even if momentarily, creates a radical thinking framework for alternatives to the current regime of space production and its suspect growth imperative. Engaging with unsettling questions, A Moratorium on New Construction envisions a massive value shift for our existing stock. From housing redistribution to reinviting value generation, from anti-extractive measures to profound structural changes, from curricula reforms to purging the exploitative culture of the office, an entire rewiring of design processes and construction lays ahead."

IndieCommerceA Moratorium on New Construction (Sternberg Press / Critical Spatial Practice)A massive value shift for existing buildings, infrastructure, materials, unbuilt land, earth, and the labor that holds our world together. To build is to destroy, writes Charlotte Malterre-Barthes. From steel bolts to concrete blocks to wood flooring to polyester insulation panels, every single component of the built environment is the product of extractive processes. Driven by greedy economies, the global enterprise of space production expands, impacting climate, earth, water, humans, and non-humans everywhere. However housing is both a human right and the mandate of design disciplines: How to navigate the need for housing versus the destructive practice of construction?  To pause new construction—even if momentarily, creates a radical thinking framework for alternatives to the current regime of space production and its suspect growth imperative. Engaging with unsettling questions, A Moratorium on New Construction envisions a massive value shift for our existing stock. From housing redistribution to reinviting value generation, from anti-extractive measures to profound structural changes, from curricula reforms to purging the exploitative culture of the office, an entire rewiring of design processes and construction lays ahead. Somewhere between a thought experiment and a call for action, A Moratorium on New Construction is a leap of faith to envision a less extractive future, made of what we have: Not demolishing, not building new, but building less, building with what exists, inhabiting it differently, and caring for it.
