The second part of the work is focused on the traditional vernacular architecture in South Bohemia, especially in the Bohemian Forest (Šumava) region, on types of construction, use and processing of materials and their integration into the countryside. The final part is applied to present ecology architecture.

Review of the book Natural capitalism
Moučka, Jan
Recenze je zaměřena na možné přínosy, které kniha přináší urbanismu, pojatému jako teorie prognóz, návrhu, výstavby a správy měst. Kniha uvádí témata, která již byla předmětem delšího zájmu, nových výzkumů a studií RMI (Rocky Mountains Institute v USA). Přes snahu autorů přinést co nejvíce případů aplikace nových přístupů, ekologických i ekonomických šancí - universálním návodem ani praktickým "manuálem" však kniha není. Mimo jiné i proto, že je ovlivněna současnou realitou USA, zejména problematikou závislosti společnosti na autech, a obsah knihy tak nesplňuje imperativ Alberta Einsteina, použitý jako motto knihy - " Problémy nelze řešit způsobem myšlení, který problémy vytvořil". Obsah kapitol 1 až 13 je zaměřen na moderní pojetí "ekologických služeb" přírody, tak aby dobře a udržitelně fungovala jako "faktor 4" kapitalismu. Kapitola 14 je zaměřena na "sociální služby", poskytované systémy jako jsou velká města, která jsou naplánována, realizována a spravována ve smyslu nově definovaných, udržitelných "sociálních služeb". Jako vzor je použito významné brazilské města Curitiba. Kapitola 14 je však mediální, nepřesvědčivá a postrádá jakékoli urbanistické informace. Detailnější pohled na případ města Curitiba si tudíž čtenář - odborník, politik, urbanista - musí získat sám a jinde. Je to nezbytné, jinak mu kniha poskytne o "faktoru 4" - sociálních službách - jen povrchní informace. Kapitola 15 je o prognózách a plánování ve vztahu ke společnému habitatu lidí a také ostatní přírody. Bohužel i v této kapitole chybí odpovídající konkrétní doklady.
