BoHiO


"Tipo de cabaña utilizada por los tainos, construida en madera, paja y barro, y carente de ventana".

Esto define lo que es un bohio, construido por los tainos. Al parecer todavia tenemos nativos en nuestra Isla del nuevo mundo. Ahora los bohios los construimos con hojalatas y madera de cajas de bacalao y arenque con piso de tierra... ahora estamos peor!

Book Description: 
From the arid deserts of Tucson, Arizona to the icy forests 
of Poori, Finland to the tropical beaches of New South Wales, 
Australia to the urban jungle of downtown Manhattan, critics 
Alanna Stang and Christopher Hawthorne have traveled to the 
farthest reaches of the globe to find all that is new in the 
design of sustainable, or "green," homes. The result: more 
than thirty-five residences in fifteen countries -- and nearly 
every conceivable natural environment -- designed by a 
combination of star architects and heretofore unknown 
practitioners. Six different climactic zones are presented in 
The Green House -- waterfront, forest and mountain, tropical, 
desert, suburban, and urban; there is also a section on mobile 
dwellings. Each chapter features a series of homes that show 
the diversity and possibility of sustainable design. Projects 
are presented with large color images, plans, drawings, and an 
accompanying text that describes their green features and 
explains how they work with and in the environment. Architects 
included: Santiago Calatrava, Shigeru Ban, Miller/Hull, Rick 
Joy, Lake Flato, Kengo Kuma, Glenn Murcutt, Pugh & Scarpa, 
Werner Sobek, and many others. The Green House is not only a 
beautiful object in its own right, but is sure to be an 
indispensable reference for anyone building or interested in 
sustainable design -- and if you ask us, that should be everyone.
