Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro aborda los aspectos fundamentales de la vivienda natural, tanto para quien desee construir o ampliar su casa como para quien quiera transformar su apartamento en un espacio agradable y sano, que no perjudique a la salud y que, en la medida de lo posible, le ayude a sentirse mejor. Se trata de una guía muy útil para el arquitecto, para el médico que pretenda profundizar en el estudio de las patologías y para todas aquellas personas preocupadas por su bienestar. En toda Europa, desde hace años se llevan a cabo investigaciones en el ámbito de la bioarquitectura o arquitectura ecológica que, con datos en la mano, demuestran que en la casa moderna, núcleo de nuestro sistema de vida actual, se crean microclimas nocivos y en ocasiones muy alejados de las características biológicas que necesita nuestro organismo. Una guía completa de la vivienda ecológica, que proporciona una gran cantidad de información, desde las retículas geomagnéticas a los materiales, pasando por la contaminación de los interiores y el arte chino del Feng Shui. La orientación y distribución de los ambientes, la eliminación y reciclaje de materiales contaminantes, el bienestar acústico, el aprovechamiento del sol y de la iluminación artificial adecuada, las ventajas e inconvenientes de los materiales habituales, y muchos otros temas se tratan con detenimiento de una forma clara y amena. Todo el libro está profusamente ilustrado con fotografías y esquemas que facilitan la comprensión del texto
Download or read book Metabolismo Cultural Como Estrategia para Preservar la Identidad Cultural y Ecol Gica written by Reinhard Senkowski and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estamos proyectando el análisis de una metamorfosis global en la actualidad, como los cambios de identidades en el proceso de transformación cultural. En consecuencia, buscamos un concepto de intercambio cultural, como una síntesis de diferentes factores y dimensiones en el mundo multi e intercultural. Igualmente, queremos enfocar los elementos etnoecológicos, tanto regionales como globales, para el establecimiento de una visión holística y armoniosa. Además, planeamos desarrollar criterios para una Didáctica de la Cosmovisión con paradigmas nuevos del Metabolismo Cultural como una opción frente al camino actual en el marco de la globalización, concebido como unidimensional y unidireccional, que conduce a un callejón sin salida por la realización de cierta monocultura, una tendencia central, monopólica, racional, fragmentada y material que cosifica el mundo. Lograrlo implica investigar horizontes hacia una concientización y la búsqueda de una convivencia integrativa, armónica e interrelacionada, complementaria que sirva de inspiración en el sentido de un Metabolismo Cultural, como una fórmula y síntesis para convivir en un marco globalizante, sin perder la heterogeneidad de las singularidades del regionalismo biológico y cultural, algo propio de las unidades, que da sentido y función de la sustentabilidad contundente en una totalidad (Holón) continua.
Download or read book FENG SHUI written by Pierfrancesco Ros and published by Editoriale Delfino. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feng Shui, the art of Wind and Water, emerged 3,000 years ago in China and gradually evolved over time as new theories and new models were introduced. While its development was driven by the primary needs of survival and defence, it would later be enhanced with concepts relating to culture, philosophy, the climate and the territory. Thanks to the work of Pierfrancesco Ros’ Accademia Italiana di Architettura Feng Shui, Feng Shui has been further expanded with ancient and modern knowledge relating to environmental well-being. Feng Shui Architecture offers the reader project guidelines for use in town planning, architecture, interior design and ecodesign. The first volume examines the key issues of the earth way and the sky way. The second and final volume, produced with the contribution of the Accademia di Psico Architettura, looks at the man way, establishing a global approach to various types of environmental analysis and design for a complete understanding of Holistic Architecture.

Download or read book Pura vida written by Norma Lopez-Burton and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Pura vida (Life is good)Spanish is more than vocabulary and grammar, just as Spanish-speaking cultures are more than products and practices. In this learner-centered introductory program, the authors’ commitment to a methodology based on true-to-life experiences brings Spanish to life. Pura vida is the discovery of a Spanish-speaking world through the experiences of real people who share anecdotes and reflections on those experiences. Students relate to these people and make deeper, more meaningful connections between language and culture, and acquire Spanish with an unparalleled sense of personal engagement. In this 12-chapter introductory program, students don’t only learn Spanish for real life, but also from real life. They discover that there is not just one homogeneous Hispanic culture, but rather that each Spanish-speaking country has its own rich, unique culture and that the people who live in these countries speak one common language with different accents, characteristics, and idiosyncrasies. The program offers truly seamless integration of cultural notions and language instruction and features 100% contextualized and personalized activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo.

Download or read book Green Building Trends written by Jerry Yudelson and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The “green building revolution” is a worldwide movement for energy-efficient, environmentally aware architecture and design. Europe has been in the forefront of green building technology, and Green Building Trends: Europe provides an indispensable overview of these cutting edge ideas and applications. In order to write this book, well-known U.S. green building expert Jerry Yudelson interviewed a number of Europe’s leading architects and engineers and visited many exemplary projects. With the help of copious photographs and illustrations, Yudelson describes some of the leading contemporary green buildings in Europe, including the new Lufthansa headquarters in Frankfurt, the Norddeutsche Landesbank in Hannover, a new school at University College London, the Beaufort Court Zero-Emissions building, the Merck Serono headquarters in Geneva, and a zero-net-energy, all-glass house in Stuttgart. In clear, jargon-free prose, Yudelson provides profiles of progress in the journey towards sustainability, describes the current regulatory and business climates, and predicts what the near future may bring. He also provides a primer on new technologies, systems, and regulatory approaches in Western Europe that can be adopted in North America, including building-integrated solar technologies, radiant heating and cooling systems, dynamic façades that provide natural ventilation, innovative methods for combining climate control and water features in larger buildings, zero-netenergy homes built like Thermos bottles, and strict government timetables for achieving zero-carbon buildings. Green Building Trends: Europe is an essential resource for anyone interested in the latest developments in this rapidly growing field.

Download or read book Distributed World written by Simone Malacrida and published by BookRix. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, the last of an energy trilogy, outlines a futuristic scenario of a social, energy and political model different from the current one. All aspects that contribute to determining the distributed model through the establishment of the two main pillars, the technological-energy pillar, given by digital energies, and the socio-economic pillar, called the "blue society," are carefully analyzed. A look far beyond the usually proposed predictions of a few decades is constantly present in the writing, and obvious connections are identified between a system of thought and the resulting shared rules that punctuate human life, completing the narrative of a new social structure for a finally sustainable future development.
