The house was built in the year 2000,
00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:00.000
after considering over 20
different design options.

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
The location and orientation of the house were
carefully analyzed to take full advantage of
00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
the prevailing tropical breezes from
the east, north-east and the sunlight.

This is not the first time that Fernando
Abruña recognizes the importance of the sky
00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.999
for human thought. In the
psycotechtonic house
00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
that he designed in the \'70s, everything leads
the person to look up to the sky and dream.
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
It is a house for dreaming.

Of all the designs presented in the book, \"Casa\",
the most conceptual and (inaudible) design
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:25.000
is arguably the \"Casa a la duchamp\"

The kitchen in The Absent House
00:34:25.000 --> 00:34:29.999
consumes very little electricity
because it relies on the microwave
00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:34.999
and the solar oven. The solar oven
requires approximately three hours
00:34:35.000 --> 00:34:40.000
to cook vegetables, bread,
rice, and pastilles.

00:39:20.000 --> 00:39:24.999
You don\'t ever have to worry about building the
cause if you really understand your problem,
00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.999
if you solve it correctly, so life really
goes on. This is with generation of life
00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:34.999
and you do it most economically, so
economically that it is realizable,
00:39:35.000 --> 00:39:43.000
it always comes out beautiful. That\'s why
rose is beautiful… If you all ever bought
00:40:10.000 --> 00:40:18.000
a beautiful little spaceship called Earth…

00:43:55.000 --> 00:44:00.000
I know people would call it an automobile,
it wasn\'t designed just to be an automobile…
00:46:30.000 --> 00:46:34.999
The house is absent from the
electric power utility,
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:39.999
and the water, and sewer utility.
00:46:40.000 --> 00:46:44.999
And it generates very small amounts of solid wastes,
reducing the impact on the country\'s landfills.
