Tone on Tuesday 211: A short history of sustainable houses

Increased environmental awareness in the 1960s drove designs using alternative technology. A revival of vernacular forms, exploratory domes and autonomous houses were intended to address issues of ecology and energy. Mainstream housing was untroubled by a few remote hippy houses on the fringe, no matter how audacious.

Design notes for week 47/2023 from Tone on Tuesday | Architecture & Design

The word sustainability, at least as applied to design, traces back to the 1970s, but the origins of the idea go back to interests in passive solar and better urban design after WW2 (Homes in the Sun, Walter Bunning, 1945). The 1960s then saw two emerging and intersecting trends.

Building art

The National Library incorporates major works of art that have become closely associated with the building. As the concept for the Library’s building developed, the chief architect, Walter Bunning (1912-1977), made the suggestions for initial artworks, believing they should reflect the classical style of the architecture. Most of these works of art were commissioned by Bunning around the time the Library was opened in 1968, and can still be found in the foyer, exterior and grounds of the building.
