The document proposes 37 ideas for designing buildings in a post-oil world, with an emphasis on sustainability and self-sufficiency. Some of the key ideas include growing crops vertically in urban farms and stacking agricultural landscapes within dense urban areas to minimize land use. Another idea is designing buildings to harness renewable energy from the sun, wind and water through the use of photovoltaics, wind turbines and tidal power generation. Underground construction is also proposed to take advantage of geothermal properties while freeing up space above ground.
