The book explores how to communicate sustainability issues, focusing on site-specific architecture, biogenic materials, building methods, handicrafts and craftsmanship. The title Ingenious Houses refers to the historic houses and farmsteads at the Open Air Museum in Lyngby, Denmark, who serve as the foundation for examples and perspectives we present and discuss.

The question is: how can we inspire modern-day museum visitors to build more sustainably and lead more environmentally aware lives, drawing inspiration from past ways of building and living.
