A Return to Tradition in Building Is Necessary in a Post-Carbon Age

We can no longer ignore that in matters of settlement, building, & energy policies, industrial civilization is engaged in a tragic impasse. Traditional building settlement techniques of the pre-fossil fuel edge represent the operative tools of global & ecological reconstruction. pic.twitter.com/En0S4BMgee
