Life in a city

Architecture is "frozen music"… Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German philosopher, poet and novelist (1739 -1842). We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us. Winston Churchill A very typical house in many cities and small towns in Kazakhstan British politician (1874 -1965). A typical rural house in Kazakhstan Northern lights in Astana

Can existing technologies and a new ecological mindset provide an ecological and human friendly life-style?

Eco-life-style! Qualitatively higher quality of life!

Not just houses, but entire communities! Koschi (Akmola oblast. ) Talgar (Almaty oblast. ) Can this be your future home?

Example: Akkol region РЕСПУБЛИКАНСКОЕ ОБЩЕСТВЕННОЕ ОБЪЕДИНЕНИЕ «КАЗАХСТАНСКИЕ РОДОВЫЕ ПОМЕСТЬЯ»

Governing principles of eco-village design v. Human and environmentally friendly. v. Harmoniously integrated into the natural landscape. v Energy-efficient and self-sustainable in all aspects as much as existing technologies allow.

Think of the Big picture! Comparison with the previous level № Level Population 1 Household 2 Eco-village 200 households 1000 -1500 3 Eco-city 10 eco-villages 10, 000 -15, 000 4 Eco-agglomeration 10 eco-cities 100, 000 -150, 000 5 Kazakhstan 130 -200 eco-agglomerations 20, 000 5 -7

What are the goals? v. Develop and think through a detailed concept (both from technological and social aspects) of the eco-village realizable at a specific site with its specific climate and landscape conditions. v Build a 3 -D layout of the village that can potentially be demonstrated at the national pavilion at EXPO-2017. v Build specific 3 -D layouts and make posters that demonstrate how all basic life-supporting-systems work (heating, energy production and storage, water, waste-management, etc. ). v. Make a documentary movie and a series of video-clips which describes the general concept and details of the project to the general public. v Develop an Internet web-site that elaborates on the project, provides discussion platform and has all available materials for download. v. Develop business ideas that will help launch such projects in reality.
