最近在技术和家庭可再生能源方面取得的进展使得远离城市和农村基础设施的建设比以往更加实际和低价。这本概述世界上最有创意、水电自理住宅的书籍展示了那些能让我们逃离到地球上最特别的自然环境的前卫建筑和技术。

本书介绍的所有房屋在能源、水（在某些情况下，还包括食物）方面完全（几乎完全）做到了自给自足。建筑与室内设计专家Dominic Bradbury展示了每位设计师是如何让在这些野生和自然的环境中的日常生活变得有意义和吸引人的。

Recent advances in technologies and home-generated renewable energy have made building away from urban and rural infrastructures more practical and affordable than ever. This survey of the world’s most innovative off-grid homes reveals the cuttingedge architecture and technology that is enabling us to escape to some of the most extraordinary natural environments on the planet.

All of the houses featured in this book are fully, or almost fully, self-sufficient in terms of energy, water and, in some cases, food. Architecture and interior design expert Dominic Bradbury reveals how each architect has made everyday living in these wild and natural settings a rewarding and tempting reality.
