If you want to convince others of the usefulness of your ideas it is best to start with yourself - this was the guiding principle for the builder Milenko Milinkovic when he built a solar house made from ferrocement near Belgrade.
Milenko Milinković lives in his dream, in a solar house shaped
hemisphere diameter 18.5 meters. Conventional buildings
in their form and production are spending about 40
percent of global energy, therefore, he proposes a better solution.
The concept of sustainable buildings whose main source is solar
energy Milinkovic will represent at TEDxZagreb.
It's time for faster, cheaper and environmentally more
acceptable solutions. The material provided in the world for making
sculptures and ships, Milinkovic began to use in the construction
of warehouses, school halls and his home.
It's ferrocement, layers of wire attached with a mixture of
cement, which is resistable to all external influences, has
lifetime longer than 200 years, it's cheaper than conventional
construction. Such a roof over tenant's head delivers up to 50
percent less expensive heating and cooling.
"It is time to stop building cubical buildings - Nature
knows no cube-square forms but a rounded once, have you ever seen a
cubical female breasts?"
