Living Homes: Sustainable Architecture and Design by Suzi Moore McGregor and Nora Burba Trulsson
Posted by draabe on 23 September, 2008
Much more than a beautiful coffee table book, Living Homes: Sustainable Architecture and Design is a well-written introduction to a trend in homebuilding worth following, especially considering the ever increasing need for sustainable living and desire for environmental harmony. The book is full of high-quality photographs taken by Terrence Moore framed by stories of the homeowners who graciously opened up to writers Suzi Moore McGregor and Nora Burba Trulsson. McGregor has become an example and advocate of sustainable architecture, specifically researching desert environments for her previous book, Under the Sun: Desert Style and Architecture. Trulsson, a freelance writer who has written for numerous architectural and design publications, is currently the editor of Sources and Design.

Also here in Finland, we will build straw-bale houses. A whole village for artisans and craftspersons.
If you would like to see pictures and drawings from our project [partly Underground straw bale house],
you find pdf-files in English and Finnish here:

More rendered 3D-drawings and pics, a lot about building straw-bale houses and all kind of related stuff. We discuss here:
http://henry.blogit.uusisuomi.fi
Even if it is in Finnish, you will understand most of the 3D-drawings and what they are connected to.
You can also comment in English, Russian, Chinese, Swedish, Norwegian or Arabic.
It does not matter which of these languages.
We are interested in all kind of international cooperation.
