Travel across continents and climates to experience architecture that’s rewriting the rules of sustainability. Like the other titles in our Homes for Our Time series, each of the 63 projects in Sustainable Living opens a window into a unique dwelling inspired by the pressures and possibilities of a warming planet with finite resources.
The result is a sweeping story of architects, ranging from Norman Foster to the Snøhetta practice, building in bold new ways that honor the ecosystems our planet depends on. Homes that strive to leave the lightest possible imprint, from the moment their materials are sourced to the day they’re returned to the earth. Energy-efficient envelopes, low-impact structures, recycled and biodegradable materials, designs attuned to sun, wind and rain. Each construction is an illuminating chapter in architecture’s evolving quest to do no harm, beautifully photographed and annotated, alongside biographies of the architects who created them.
No single region or style holds the monopoly on eco-friendly innovation. Marvel at the multiplicity of inventive responses: affordable bamboo structures rising above floodwaters in Hanoi, a home created from locally-quarried rock and slate in a Japanese forest, a brick cube encouraging passive cooling in the heat of Ahmedabad, an emergency shelter literally unrolled in a Venetian garden, a passive house nestled beneath Australian treetops.
Whether modest or monumental, these enviable projects prove that sustainability isn’t a look or a pose, but a mindset that transcends traditions, borders, and budgets. Each one invites us to design smarter, live lighter, and waste nothing.

Viaje a través de continentes y climas para descubrir una arquitectura que está reescribiendo las reglas de la sostenibilidad. Como los demás títulos de nuestra serie Homes for Our Time, cada uno de los 63 proyectos de Sustainable Living abre una ventana a una vivienda única, inspirada en las presiones y posibilidades de un planeta que se calienta y cuenta con recursos finitos.

El resultado es un relato panorámico del trabajo de grandes arquitectos, desde Norman Foster hasta el estudio Snøhetta, que de formas audaces e innovadoras construyen con respeto hacia los ecosistemas de los que depende nuestro planeta. Se trata de viviendas que aspiran a dejar la huella más ligera posible, desde la obtención de sus materiales hasta el día en que regresan a la tierra. Fachadas y cerramientos energéticamente eficientes, estructuras de bajo impacto, materiales reciclados y biodegradables y diseños atentos al sol, al viento y a la lluvia definen estos proyectos. Cada edificio es un capítulo revelador de la búsqueda de la arquitectura por no causar daño, bellamente fotografiado y cuidadosamente documentado, que se acompaña de las biografías de los arquitectos que lo hicieron posible.

Ninguna región o estilo posee el monopolio de la innovación ecológica. Admire la diversidad e ingenio de las distintas propuestas: estructuras económicas de bambú que se elevan sobre las aguas en Hanói, una casa creada con roca y pizarra extraídas localmente en un bosque japonés, un cubo de ladrillo que favorece la refrigeración pasiva bajo el calor de Ahmedabad, un refugio de emergencia que se despliega literalmente en un jardín veneciano o una casa pasiva anidada bajo las copas de árboles australianos.

Ya sean modestos o monumentales, estos proyectos admirables demuestran que la sostenibilidad no es simple estética o pose, sino una mentalidad que trasciende tradiciones, fronteras y presupuestos. Cada uno nos invita a diseñar de forma más inteligente, vivir causando un menor impacto y no desperdiciar nada.
