Technology and Place Sustainable Architecture and the Blueprint Farm
- Binding: Paperback
- Edition: 1
- Publisher: Univ of Texas Pr
- Publish date: 04/01/2001
In this book, Steven Moore demonstrates how the various stakeholders' competing definitions of "sustainability", "technology", and "place" ultimately doomed Blueprint Farm. He reconstructs the conflicting interests and goals of the founders, including Jim Hightower and the Texas Department of Agriculture, Laredo Junior College, and the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, and shows how, ironically, they unwittingly suppressed the self-determination of the very farmworkers the project sought to benefit. From the instructive failure of Blueprint Farm, Moore extracts eight principles for a regenerative architecture, which he calls his "nonmodern manifesto".
