    I love that it's not just brick and block everywhere you look. The wind catcher system is nice too, but those south facing windows need more summer shade.

    The food production aspect of this project is really interesting. Not always highlighted in projects tackling sustainability. However, I can't tell why projects designed to be highly efficient, sustainable, etc.. usually fail to deal with aesthetics, to the point that the notion of 'sustainable but ugly' is taken for granted- speaking from the point of view of an architect. Good one thanks!

    I wish they would let us live in campers full time in America so we could make like camper eco villages, there's tons of them all around the country for cheap waiting to be scrapped, and a LOT of homeless and more to come. There are very strict land laws in America in where you can't camp on your land, you absolutely must build stick built homes, and the cost is too high as the economy is just broken/inflated. Right now it's mainly the restrictions/legislation part you talked about that keeps this from happening.

      It seems sustainable to redo existing buildings which will last longer and protect from the elements. Eco villages should be beautiful and with many self sustaining features to keep people protected from the catastrophes that plague our world right now.

      Impossible. No such thing as clean or free energy. As populations grows so does the need for more energy.
      Even if we killed off 90% of the world human population, the earth will still go down the same path. Because it's the earths natural life cycle that your seeing, not energy burning. Dinosaurs was wiped out by the earths natural life cycle. Besides, the earth is billions of years away from dying. We're only around half way through the earths life span

    It is Hard tp replicate and expensive
    Also it don't need solar pannels on The roof. It just needs energy coming from renewbles, with that in mind it would be esear to constroct them

    Cut the rubbish music ! I know that many video producers think it's cool, but what it actually does is make it hard for many to hear the words -- the partially deaf, those with tinnitus, the autistic. In other words, not inclusive, which I thought was one of the key concepts of such developments.
