The prototypical recipe book provides a loose framework for BLDUS’s unique farm-to-shelter architecture in Home on Earth, offering delectable suggestions for healthy modes of human habitation. Using traditional materials processed with contemporary techniques, BLDUS designs and builds sustainable houses in and around Washington D.C. that pay tribute to their contexts and gain integrity as they age. Home on Earth showcases built houses alongside material studies and models to propose a healthy building cuisine specific to the Mid-Atlantic Region. These contextual houses are advocates for simple healthy building materials that work well in the Mid-Atlantic region and have low impacts on their points of growth, manufacture, installation, inhabitation, and eventual disposal.
Excerpts:
‘Humanity’s most cherished architecture brings to mind the relationship between buildings, the four elements, and the cosmos.’
‘We don’t follow a precise rubric to value a material’s relative health; we follow our guts, and these materials taste good.’
‘These contextual houses are advocates for simple healthy building materials that work well in the MidAtlantic region and have low impacts on their points of growth, manufacture, installation, inhabitation, and eventual disposal.’
