Credits -- N2 - "In the early 20th century, the concept of "dwelling" was defined as a "machine for living," a reference to a new way of understanding the construction of inhabitable spaces that characterized the Machine Age. Today, a century later, we face the challenge of constructing a sustainable or even self-sufficient dwelling, now a living organism that interacts with its environment, exchanging resources, and which functions as an entirely self-sufficient entity. The Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia presents a selection of entries presented during the 1st Advanced Architecture Contest: Self-Sufficient Housing."--BOOK JACKET ER -
