Special NO 9 House, Kieran Timberlake
The environmental control that Kieran Timberlake attempt in their buildings is relatively close to what I would like to achieve in my interventions.  Without the technology, but relying strictly on the notions of hot air rising, cross-ventilation, and reducing the amount that a building will heat up in the sun.  There’s lots of notions of livable space in this structure as well…not to mention the inclusion of the rain water collection. 
I have a fairly extensive street section that incorporates permeable paving for the absorption of rain water, and the cleansing of grey water and effluent in a series of reed beds. 
One day when I have time I’ll talk about this more in detail.
