Solar oriented skylights maximize light and passive solar thermal uptake - greatly reducing unnecessary lighting and heating. Within the timber framed walls and roof is cellulose insulation made from recycled paper.Photo courtesy of The Ecovillage Findhorn

"A student of the rise and fall of cultures cannot fail to be impressed by the role played in this historical succession by the image of the future. The rise and fall of images precedes or accompanies the rise and fall of cultures. As long as a society's image is positive and flourishing, the flower of culture is in full bloom. Once the image begins to decay and lose its vitality, however, the culture does not long survive." (The Image of the Future, Fred Polak, 1961)
