Kloge Huse / Ingenious Houses: Communicating Sustainability at the Open Air Museum

How can we inspire today's museum visitors to build more sustainably and lead more environmentally aware lives, drawing inspiration from past ways of building and living? In 'Kloge Huse', Nicolai Bo Andersen, Tilde Stranbygaard, Victor Boye Julebaek, and Anette Elisabeth Warring explore communicating sustainability issues, focusing on site-specific architecture, biogenic materials, building methods, handicrafts, and craftsmanship. The historic houses and farmsteads at the Open Air Museum in Lyngby, Denmark, form the basis for the examples and perspectives discussed in the book. With contributions by Anne Eriksen, Simon Kirk, David Leatherbarrow, and Connie Svabo.
