friend Mies was rooted in the teachings of the "Bauhaus," an art
school started by a distinguished group of teachers in Germany directly after
the end of WW1 in 1919. They sought for a means to reconcile the artist and the
machine by pursuing new solutions and forms to both man's basic and aesthetic
needs. The Bauhaus' curriculum returned its students to fundamentals. Analysis
and simplification started with exploring the use of basic materials such as steel,
concrete, glass, stone etc, in their unadorned, unembellished state plus a
return to the basic rules of design, pure forms <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>textures and colors. The questions they dared
to ask, led to new definitions of beauty in the unadorned and practical aspects
of functionality. In the Bauhaus tradition, you too could well ask yourself the
question, "How much and who do I really need to hang on to in every aspect
of life and how much and who <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>can I let
go of that will actually be a relief to me?"</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bauhaus students faced the fact that their future would be
involved primarily with industry and mass production rather than with
individual craftsmanship. Faculty
members included purely creative artists such as the easel painter as a
spiritual counterpoint to the practical technician so they may work and teach
side by side. The Bauhaus brought together the arts of painting, of architecture,
theatre, photography, weaving, typography etc. into a modern synthesis. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The students were offered no refuge in the
past but were equipped for the modern world including its artistic, technical,
social, economic, spiritual aspects, so that they could function in society not
as decorators but as a vital participants. They studied rational design in
terms of techniques and materials in the development of <u>a <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>new and modern sense of beauty.</u> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hands-on experience of materials at first
confined to free experiment and then extended to the practical workshop, was

architects of the last century, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and of course

principle of walls as manipulators of space, destroyed the boxes that made up
separate rooms for each function. Some formerly separate rooms started merging
into interconnected spaces. Wright often used a fireplace only to separate
dining and living area. The kitchen also gradually disappeared as a separate
room and became part of one great living space.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Residential design keeps moving toward high-performance sustainable
building systems. To be sustainable, a
building must not only be efficient and durable but also economically
viable. New methods of enclosure have been
examined that provide high thermal performance and long-term durability. They reduce
material use, simplify systems and details, and potentially reduce overall
initial costs of construction. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Educated design can make every square foot count, reducing wasted space by keeping hallways etc. to a minimum. The effective use of construction dollars calls for efficiently designed spaces and scientifically considered building envelopes that provide both security and cool economical thermal environments.</span><br />

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Living in Florida conjures up swaying palms, swimming pools
and fresh orange juice... and lots of air-conditioning. A summer spent in Florida’s heat and humidity
would be unbearable without it. Air-conditioning is an absolute necessity but
also a big energy drain accounting for about 35% of all electricity used in a
typical Florida house. Minimizing the loss of cool air to the exterior in
summer is the first order of business in an energy efficient Florida home.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">The U.S. Department of Energy has
developed a list of recommended insulation levels for different climate zones. Because
electric heat is relatively expensive, houses with electric resistance heat
need insulation to exceed the recommended levels. <span style="background: rgb(248, 248, 248);">Most
insulation materials function by slowing the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span>conductive<span class="apple-converted-space"> flow
of heat. Materials with low thermal conductivity more effectively block heat
flow than materials with high thermal conductivity. The R-value of an
insulation material measures its resistance to heat flow.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For Collier county in Florida, the recommended
minimum R-values are: Roof = R-30, Walls = R-13, Floor = R-11. E-Houses’ unique roof
and wall assemblies are carefully designed to exceed these values. <span style="background: rgb(248, 248, 248); mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Polyisocyanurate or</span><span style="background: rgb(248, 248, 248);"> “polyiso” is no longer produced with HCFC's, and is now

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">The traditional wide roof overhangs of old-style Florida homes
are seldom used these days. The assumption is that air-conditioning takes care
of cooling needs. But why make the air conditioner work harder and costing more
than it should? The E-House restores wide roof overhangs that aim to shade the
south and west windows from solar heat gain. The large gently sloping roof is
also perfect for collecting rain water for the garden or filtered for potable
use.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Another feature is the reflective light colored standing
seam roof versus the popular grey, red and orange cement tiles or asphalt
shingles on the “Mediterranean” home. Even
if all homes have R-30 fiberglass roof insulation, one study shows that on a
day when the temperature in the attic of a standard Florida home rose to 138°F,
a similarly insulated attic under a reflective metal roof reached only 100°F.

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oversized air-conditioning ducts, positioned within the
air-conditioned space as opposed to a hot attic are used in the E-House to advantage.
Tests have shown that heat transfer to the duct system can rob the air
conditioner of as much as one-third of its cooling capacity during the hottest
hours. Over-sizing the ducts allows high air flow and low friction loss
(previously shown to provide as much as a 12% improvement in cooling efficiency
at essentially no extra cost).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sun control window film can account for up to one-fifth of

the glass. They can be carefully selected for both appearance and thermal
effectiveness. They transmit much of the light in the visible portion of the

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most installations in the U.S. are
grid-tied, meaning the house can draw power from either the utility grid or its<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span class="hovertiptarget">PV</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> array. When the PV cells aren't
producing enough power, the grid makes up the difference. When the array makes
more than the house consumes, the electricity flows into the grid.</span><br />
Off-grid systems,
which require a battery bank to store power, are more expensive and more
complicated and can be considered as an optional extra.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Research has shown that a home in a climate such as Florida's
be engineered and built so efficiently that a relatively small Photo Voltaic
system would serve the majority of its cooling needs—and even some of its daytime
electrical needs and be as comfortable and appealing as the conventional model
built alongside it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A comparative study of two Florida houses was made during
the very hot month of June. One house that was designed and built with these listed
features, consumed only 335 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of utility-grid power for all
its electrical needs. This compared to 1,839 kWh used by the unoccupied control
home for air-conditioning only! The monthly power cost in the first home was
only 18% of the control home’s power cost. (*1) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="line-height: 14.25pt;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 14.25pt;">A PV system can be sized to provide power that would offset
as much of the household load as possible. Based on the predicted load for a peak
day, a 4-kW PV array (split into two sub-arrays) can be specified. One sub-array
can be located on the south-facing roof, which is generally the preferred
placement for a PV system. The other can be located facing west because this
orientation provides more PV power during the hot afternoons, when the utility experiences
its peak demand period. Reducing demand at this time of day is particularly
valuable to the utility. The PV system is grid-interactive, producing DC power
that is converted to AC and then fed directly into the local utility distribution
system. The City of Lakeland Department of Electric and Water Utilities in Florida, which
owns and operates one such PV system, allowed connection of a residential PV
system to the utility grid in Florida.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Energy Star appliances use less power and LED lighting release
less heat into the home while operating, which decreases the cooling load that

Running the air conditioner less reduces the total electricity consumption and
lowers utility costs. The combination of efficiency features reduces the
cooling loads so that a downsized air-conditioner will suffice. It has been
shown that a system could be as little as half that of a typical Florida home and
still perform to expectations (1). The unit's
cooling coil air flow involves using a flow hood to adjust the fan speed of the
variable-speed air handler. Installers who neglect this crucial step commonly
cost the system a 10% drop in actual operating efficiency.</span><span style="color: #7f7f7f; font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #444444;">Florida is blessed with an enormous aquifer below it that
keeps a stable temperature in the mid 70F’s all year long. An air conditioner or geothermal heat pump would
rather reject heat to 75 degree water than to 95 degree outside air or to 82
degree soil. Geothermal heat pumps work similarly to air-conditioning except
that during cooling, heat from the house is discharged into the 75deg aquifer
rather than the 90deg outside air. The benefits are lower energy bills, longer
equipment life and no exposed condensing units or cooling towers. Design and
installation has to be done by experts and can be considered an optional extra.

</tbody></table><b>1. The need to be part of the whole.</b><br />
All of us need to feel that we belong to a tangible cause bigger than us. Millions switch on weekly to watch their favorite sports team perform. Communities too, should satisfy the need to belong. The ancient Italian city of Siena is made up of fiercely competitive districts or "contrade", each with its distinctive character.<br />

</tbody></table>Affiliation to a team supported on television is satisfying but not deeply enough. Good design should aim at creating a distinct sense of community or belonging for each inhabitant. Give your communities a brand name that in time will be associated with distinctive and subliminal qualities that will just draw people to them.<br />
<br />
<b>2. Communal Purpose</b><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Another example of a community with a purpose is Harley Street in London. In years gone by, an English gentleman of means would only consult a Harley Street specialist. Today, there are more than a thousand doctors who practice there. That community attracts a large ever-growing number of top medical practitioners, dentists, psychiatrists and surgeons providing first class care. Before we pick up a pencil to design a community, let us try and define a few binding communal purposes beyond that of mere shelter and profit. <i><u>Let me continue by suggesting a few.</u></i></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>3. Energy Independence</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Advances in technology is making it possible for communities to become energy independent. Call to mind the yearly electrical blackouts leave millions in metropolitan areas in the dark and in the cold! Small scale electricity production has become a viable option for an individual homeowner and additionally a source of revenue. Energy companies now send money to the family who feeds power into the grid instead of just drawing from it. Solar panels and wind turbines although initially expensive will in the long run not only pay their own way but create a sense of pride in a family and in a community.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>4. Sustainable Food Production</b></span><br />
New communities should strive to become self supporting at least in the area of vegetables and fruit. Havana and countless other urban communities have taken to growing food in containers, raised beds and through hydroponics on almost every piece of available land. Rooftop gardens too, deserve a separate study. I am not suggesting that every person is a farmer at heart, but get a group of people together an a few with a heart for the soil will step forward. In this day and age when people and communities are increasingly dependent on food from the nearby supermarket, and therefore vulnerable to disruptions in the in the global and national economy.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I love the story that I read about a Vietnamese immigrant who is producing vegetables for fifty families on a one acre parcel in a Seattle residential neighborhood. Once a week, each family stops at his lot to pick up their box of fresh produce. What a model for every new or old community!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIy5B8U6edzNK2cx-vPcoXpNZkBtYghCduatNmZYzfHRRMsrzb0V4Nc2AFZf3IOIBfxxlgZ2ABw6MA4BSBv_czqrSy4LRZm2p3dCAp4ZF7e5OGZeN394AAUKnZNM0SxNmsBgGXwqS8jko/s1600/garden_01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIy5B8U6edzNK2cx-vPcoXpNZkBtYghCduatNmZYzfHRRMsrzb0V4Nc2AFZf3IOIBfxxlgZ2ABw6MA4BSBv_czqrSy4LRZm2p3dCAp4ZF7e5OGZeN394AAUKnZNM0SxNmsBgGXwqS8jko/s400/garden_01.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I have studied and produced papers on what and when and how much to plant to feed a family of four. A dedicated person can produce fresh produce an area the size of a double garage!<br />
<br />
<b>5. True Mixed-Use</b><br />
<br />
A person should not have to leave his community to practice his or her craft. A doctor should be able to work from his nearby office within the same development. That is how things used to be and should again. The same goes for every other occupation. Live, work, eat, buy, sell, meet, etc. Let the designer accommodate the small neighborhood farmer too, the energy generator, small shopkeepers, businessmen with offices and restaurants that you can walk to, linking them creatively trough a network of pedestrian walkways.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3X0SPUY3jZKW6r54R1oWZ_ZwOxccDDPcETY3cJ17kwWKsd-szO1AoHwh7xafcnXMKTm7ooaJU2Qos_pQ43JEMOu8rO2re5apomKsEjHRLxKgEpvxMmmJnsX9V_avxHR9vCSJperJonRc/s1600/cafe.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3X0SPUY3jZKW6r54R1oWZ_ZwOxccDDPcETY3cJ17kwWKsd-szO1AoHwh7xafcnXMKTm7ooaJU2Qos_pQ43JEMOu8rO2re5apomKsEjHRLxKgEpvxMmmJnsX9V_avxHR9vCSJperJonRc/s320/cafe.jpg" width="204" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"Meet you at the cafe", mon ami!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>The best neighborhoods are the ones where you can get to know people and make some friends while walking along the pedestrian paths, saying hi to neighbors on porches or meeting a loved one on the village square. I have written exhaustively on the subject in my treatise called, "Back to the Village".<br />
The developer and designer should consider all the legal occupations that people have and see if he has catered for them in his or her new development. Variety will broaden the base of potential buyers and create a rich diversity that will only improve the quality of life of everyone living there.<br />
<br />
<b>6. Spaces for Body, soul and Spirit!</b><br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
Many communities do provide a clubhouse where people can meet, eat and socialize. Often there is a exercise room and a swimming pool where people can relax and also have an opportunity to stay physically fit.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0d0_5l8Z1Lw6W-em8eMz-XvcdVLFWOeAbPQF65yPRULF8TWwTGyZeLUIc2uKKL-h4lI4aS9YoV2UofagPgVR6RBngWLnu5Z9OIN7qXXb9E2I5viVglqZulWYqRuQmz2vUa36lqfA9Fo/s1600/pool+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU0d0_5l8Z1Lw6W-em8eMz-XvcdVLFWOeAbPQF65yPRULF8TWwTGyZeLUIc2uKKL-h4lI4aS9YoV2UofagPgVR6RBngWLnu5Z9OIN7qXXb9E2I5viVglqZulWYqRuQmz2vUa36lqfA9Fo/s400/pool+1.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Carefully designed and inviting walking and cycling paths are essential elements in a good community.<br />
Pedestrian oriented living should be as high a priority as road access to every functional space. Spiritual needs too, are all too often just ignored by community planners.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgig0j5EUicwsRCVD6sjEUSeo7BdgYWrw4TQK_FSo9aPJZb1JC3iaH6I6bfu5BWBHu_I2gXpHurv8p5mxNAEbC-3_Si_8-W5kt7WbsVZe6cKnA7lgr2tPHacbOV8eDp9msryewr17h51SE/s1600/Church+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgig0j5EUicwsRCVD6sjEUSeo7BdgYWrw4TQK_FSo9aPJZb1JC3iaH6I6bfu5BWBHu_I2gXpHurv8p5mxNAEbC-3_Si_8-W5kt7WbsVZe6cKnA7lgr2tPHacbOV8eDp9msryewr17h51SE/s400/Church+4.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>A small non-denominational chapel should be present at the heart of every community where people of different persuasions can gather and meet on a rotational basis.<br />
<br />
<b>7. In Balance with the World Outside</b><br />
<br />
Although some communities exist with the specific purpose to provide shelter or retreat from the world outside, most have to be carefully linked to the greater community. A Commercial center that form the heart of a community should normally be located where people from outside can also easily reach them.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzSLk00SBTA8j0Zwk9pnwKhQ4Nwy0ib34Ows1RMmdJuFXtABzEt6-apoCV-G_FiSSSkqGsIHewX8MUFOR3WL_yfpy5VEauYShpHbekLAsx21cpd8bnhLO37b1wejv8SsJG1k6WuiEbaVg/s1600/Market.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzSLk00SBTA8j0Zwk9pnwKhQ4Nwy0ib34Ows1RMmdJuFXtABzEt6-apoCV-G_FiSSSkqGsIHewX8MUFOR3WL_yfpy5VEauYShpHbekLAsx21cpd8bnhLO37b1wejv8SsJG1k6WuiEbaVg/s400/Market.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
Some gated communities such as Island Walk in my home town of Naples, Florida have a commercial center inside the gates, thereby severely limiting the profitability of the shops and restaurants inside. One such restaurant owner told me that she was the fifth owner in three years! Too much exposure on the other hand, simply recreates the monotonous sameness that we see all too often. A fine balance needs to be at work in the planning process, creating functional spaces with the right mix or gradient of openness and seclusion. Residences require exclusivity while commercial areas more openness.<br />
<br />
<b>8. Celebration!</b><br />
<br />
Every new community should develop regular communal events that celebrate life! Art, music, sporting events, gastronomic festivals purposefully planned will stimulate community life and cause it to grow and become a sought after place to live.<br />

New Paintings (From 2012)</h2>
"The times they are
a-changin", sang Bob Dylan years ago. A truer word was seldom spoken. As times
change, so do we if we allow ourselves to. I have begun enjoying some of the old
movies, yes even the old black and white ones! Bogart and Becall, Cary Grant and
Grace Kelly were all superb. The Blues Brothers on a mission from God. What a
laugh! A carnival atmosphere, good music, good acting, comedy, suspense and
drama may all be a form of escape, but they all paint a more pleasant picture
than politics and current world events. These art forms inspired me to pick up
my brushes again. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did painting them! <br />
