Puerto Rican architect Fernando Abruña Charneco pioneered green architecture thirty years ago, and today he confronts climate change with sustainable constructions, including a house without a roof that is completely independent of power and water utilities. In times of climate change and the doomsday consequences it entails, The Absent House (Icarus Films, 2014, 55 minutes, in Spanish with English subtitles) delivers a hopeful, proactive message that we can live sustainably while preserving the planet for future generations. This program complements the exhibition House & Home, which is open to attendees before the film.
