Each case study is fully (or almost fully) self-sufficient in terms of energy, water and even in some cases, food. Low-tech renewable energy options include wood burning stoves, private wells and rainwater harvesting, photovoltaics, domestic battery storage, heat pumps and small scale wind and hydroelectric turbines.

在能量、水和甚至在某些情况下，每种情况的研究都完全(或几乎完全)自给自足。低技术可再生能源选项包括木材燃烧炉、私人井和雨水收集、光伏、家用电池储存、热泵和小型风力和水电涡轮机。

‘Breaking the conventional reliance on standard utility services and infrastructure requires a degree of imagination and confidence, but also allows a wealth of possibilities that make everyday living in remote and rural parts of the world a rewarding and tempting reality,’ writes Dominic Bradbury, author and architecture expert.

作家兼建筑专家多米尼克·布拉德伯里(Dominic Bradbury)写道：“打破对标准公用事业服务和基础设施的传统依赖，需要一定程度的想象力和信心，但同时也提供了丰富的可能性，使世界上偏远和农村地区的日常生活成为一个有益且诱人的现实。”

As well as practical and energy-efficient, the projects are located in some of the most beautiful pockets of the world from the far Northern Hemisphere to coastal environments allowing humans to experience and live alongside nature. The design and construction challenges that accompany these remote locations are also explored in the texts.

这些项目既实用又节能，位于世界上最美丽的地区，从遥远的北半球到沿海环境，使人类能够体验和生活在大自然中。文本还探讨了伴随这些偏远地点而来的设计和施工挑战。
