The House of Silence in Ecuador
Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in the city of Quevedo, in the province of Los Ríos, Ecuador. With approximately 16.000 inhabitants it has become one of the great conurbations of the country. Its high commercial potential makes the city an economic attraction but at the same time a noise attractor.
Green Building Africa promotes the need for net carbon zero buildings and cities in Africa. We are fiercely independent and encourage outlying thinkers to contribute to the #netcarbonzero movement. Climate change is upon us and now is the time to react in a more diverse and broader approach to sustainability in the built environment. We challenge architects, property developers, urban planners, renewable energy professionals and green building specialists. We also challenge the funding houses and regulators and the role they play in facilitating investment into green projects. Lastly, we explore and investigate new technology and real-time data to speed up the journey in realising a net carbon zero environment for our children.
