Originally, before the Thermostat Age, the places we built and buildings we built had no choice but to be green, otherwise people would freeze to death in the winter, die of heat strokes by summer, starve to death, or other really bad things would happen to them. Today, as we are working to re-learn how to live sustainably, much of the focus is on the gadgetry of green: Gizmo Green. This notion that we can simply invent more efficient mechanisms, and throw in some bamboo to boot, is only a small part of real sustainability.
“Kinetohaus” translated simply means “moving house;” this tiny house has been a case study in which it's like to design, build, and live smaller, more sustainable, and more affordably; it is a catalyst for exploring other alternative housing typologies that create a more socially and environmentally just housing stock, helping more people realize what it means to truly feel "at home."
