In 1975, Brenda and Robert Vale virtually invented the eco-friendly residence
with their manifesto for “the autonomous house”. But they never built it. Till

completion of their solar-powered, cesspitted, rainwater-supplied abode on an
estate in Nottinghamshire. Published by Thames & Hudson, £18.95, ISBN
