Genuinely heartwarming and inspiring. The illustrations are both practical and frankly adorable, and it's stuffed with ideas on sustainable housing, energy and even civic design. Clearly this book is meant for lower socioeconomic groups, which means it has a deep focus on affordable and appropriate tech. A book anyone can learn from.

Fundamental lectura para todo arquitecto/estudiante. Johan nos enseña la forma tradicional de construir y de obtener las instalaciones básicas para tener confort en la vivienda. Desde lo más sencillo a lo más complejo. Nos sirve para aprender de donde venimos.
