Casa
Air, light, materials and the spaces we live in.
You spend most of your hours indoors, which makes the home the highest-leverage object you own. Air quality, daylight, temperature and the chemistry of the surfaces around you do more for how a day feels than almost anything you can buy for it.
This topic sits closest to Sustainable Living, and deliberately so: the same four questions about materials, waste, energy and ethics decide whether a home is good to live in as well as defensible to have built.
O que continuamos a perguntar
- What is it made of, and what does it release into the room?
- Can it be cleaned, repaired and replaced in parts?
- Does the building work for the people in it, or only on the drawing?
