Future Ecology Designed

Sustainable design theory manifested in products, infrastructure, and graphic representation. A utopian glimpse of a future New Zealand where environmental considerations are of tantamount importance, and society is designed to accommodate the native ecosystem.


Weekend Reading.

Research collated on water use within the Urbibana.

Huehuetortuga Ecovillage, Morelos, Mexico. An example of completely integrated water and wastewater collection, which allows year-round gardening and water supply in an area with an 8-month dry season. I love the use of artificial micro-wetlands to filter grey-water.

Also, Oasis Design, consultants on the above project, have an excellent Q&A.

Of particular interest is their comprehensive guide to grey-water systems.

Also, Greywater treatment and use.

Greywater Wiki.

Living Designs Group provides an overall idea of comparative architecture.

As does Earthship.

New Zealand has fantastic wetland biodiversity- a great native resource for the above processes. And the DOC has a site too.
