Green Building, Modern Design: Green Modern Kits!: Sustainable ...
"Casa-ti is a remarkable example of how far prefab residential architecture has come. this greenmodernkits kit home is located on 55 acres in a heritage area in the western portion of virginia. the most exciting yet challenging thing about the casa ti project is that it contradicts any idea that the landscape is a stayed design, or an anchor for the architecture. we are taking a very historical site contextually speaking and turning it on its ear...creating a post modern design that connects the home with it’s expansive environs. i think the opportunity to design a functionally sustainable, yet whimsical site plan for casa ti is a true honor and an evolutionary process. we are talking about the first kit / prefab modern home that is completely ‘off-grid’ / fully sustainable in the state of virginia.* this shows that the greenmodernkit home can translate anywhere, in any capacity. it is my job and again, opportunity, to create that threshold between the prefab sustainable home and...
Sustainable Landscape Architecture 101 « The Dirt
Touches on a range of sustainable landscape architecture practices, and argues that standard lawns can often have negative impacts on the environment, due to their use of enormous amounts of water and chemical fertilizers. “Though it’s taken years (and billions of dollars and gallons of water) it seems that consumers are finally beginning to realize that a green swath of grass is not necessarily an ideal yard, particularly in arid climates.” (In fact, taken at a macro-level, Sustainable Sites argues that if all lawns in the U.S. were added together, they would cover the territory of Mississippi. This means huge amounts of water and fertilizer).
Instead, Dwell says landscape architects should focus on xeriscaping (landscaping that doesn’t require irrigation), including the use of native plants and mosses. “Take moss, for example. As an article published last spring in the states, ‘In recent years, this humble, hardy plant, which has been around for at least 450 million years, has been growing in popularity as an alternative to the traditional lawn.’ According to some purveyors of moss-scapes, sales in moss have gone up at least 30 percent in the last few years, and rightly so: Moss grows easily in poor, acidic soil, and requires shade, making it great for yards with heavy tree cover. Moss, along with a few other key plantings in and around the yard, can make up an extremely attractive, resource-efficient landscape. Moss takes in all of its nutrients through the air and requires much less watering than conventional grass. It can grow on rocks, allowing people to cultivate a greenscape without having to manipulate the existing landscape.”
