An autonomous house is made together, with your family, with your friends, with your neighbors. We are all tired from urban life : loneliness in the crowd, everyday stress, sadness of the grey architecture... At some point, you need to be brave and move to the green countryside.
According to The autonomous house, Brenda and Robert VALE, 1975, Universe books :
"The autonomous house is not simply a romantic vision of "back to the land", with life assuming a rural pace and every person dependent upon himself or herself and the immediate environment for survival. Instead, it shows a different direction for society to take.".
Like an adventure, an autonomous house is a spiritual quest. You don't know what you are looking for. Is it love ? Paradise ? Nature ? Wilderness ? Or just yourself ?
You can make it. Millions of humans have built their home themselves in the past. By doing so, you will become a true human.
Bibliography :
- Handbook of mathematical functions, Abramowitz et al. : Tired of calculating functions or integrals ? This book is for you. There are all the results of the functions and integrals you can imagine. Like a calculator, it's a good mathematical tool ;
- Kleine grüne Archen, Claudia LORENZ-LADENER : The greenhouse dealt in depth, with a lot of technical details and beautiful pictures ;
- Petit manuel de l'habitat bio-climatique, François TANGUAY : A Quebecker book about green architecture. Very complete, documenting various fields : photovoltaic, bathroom, straw insulation, atmosphere of the house... Published in 1988, the standards remain higher than today's urbanism. This book is in my heart because it's sincere ;
- The autonomomous house, Brenda and Robert VALE : the first historical book to consider autonomous building as a field. Published in 1975, this book is actually timeless, and could be considered today as visionary.
