Synopsis

Self-Sufficient Cities explores the ambitious yet vital concept of transforming urban areas into sustainable ecosystems. It examines the architectural, environmental, and infrastructural changes needed for cities to generate their own resources. For instance, buildings could be designed to harvest rainwater and produce energy, lessening the reliance on external resources. The book also highlights the potential economic and social impacts of transitioning to localized resource systems, recognizing that community engagement is as crucial as technological advancement. 

 
The book progresses through three sections, starting with the historical and environmental context of urban self-sufficiency. It then dives into specific strategies like renewable energy systems and urban agriculture, showcasing real-world examples. Finally, it tackles implementation challenges, including economic and policy considerations, providing a vision for future urban development. 

 
The book uniquely integrates architectural design with broader ecological and social factors, emphasizing the human element in creating sustainable environments.

    Haircuts by Children and Other...

    A cultural planner's immodest proposal: change how we think about children and we just might change the world.
       
    We live in an ‘adultitarian’ state, where the rules are based on very adult priori- ties and understandings of reality. Young people are disenfranchised and power- less; they understand they’re subject to an authoritarian regime, whether they buy into it or not. But their unique perspectives also offer incredible potential for social, cultural and economic innovation.
       
    Cultural planner and performance director Darren O’Donnell has been collaborating with children for years through his company, Mammalian Diving Reflex; their most well-known piece, Haircuts by Children (exactly what it sounds like) has been performed internationally. O’Donnell suggests that working with children in the cultural industries in a manner that maintains a large space for their participation can be understood as a pilot for a vision of a very different role for young people in the world – one that the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child considers a ‘new social contract.’
       
    Haircuts by Children is a practical proposal for the inclusion of children in as many realms as possible, not only as an expression of their rights, but as a way to intervene in the world and to disrupt the stark economic inequalities perpetuated by the status quo. Deeply practical and wildly whimsical, Haircuts by Children might actually make total sense.
       
    ‘No other playwright working in Toronto right now has O’Donnell’s talent for synthesizing psychosocial, artistic and political random thoughts and reflections into compelling analyses ... The world (not to mention the theatre world) could use more of this, if only to get us talking and debating.’

    Hotel Waldhaus Sils Maria

    The Waldhaus Hotel in Sils Maria was built in between 1905 and 1908 for the experienced hotelier Josef Giger-Nigg according to the plans of architect Karl Koller, who was gaining a reputation as a hotel architect in the Engadine at that time. Both the Waldhaus’s exterior and interiors reveal the transition from the opulent style of the Belle Époque to the simple lines that marked the beginning of the 20th century. The Waldhaus, largely preserved and maintained in its original state, is one of the few five-star hotels to have remained in the hands of the same family since its opening. Even now, it is personally managed by the founding family, now in its fifth generation. Their steadfast dedication to maintaining a long hotel tradition (“a family affair since 1908”) and their highly professional approach to the preservation of the historic property (complete with its own little museum) have recently been honored with several prestigious awards.
