  1. CHRONOLOGICAL SERIES REVISED EDITION

    Low-tech Magazine’s original book series is available again. This revised edition of the original (2007-2021), “uncompressed” series is based on the edits made for the compressed edition (released in 2025). However, we increased the font and image sizes and returned to a one-column layout for improved reading comfort.

  12. BRUSSELS — BOOK LAUNCH — 29.4.25

    → How to make books more sustainable? During this evening, Low-tech Magazine will present our "Compressed Book Edition", this time in Brussels, at Architecture Curating Practice's gallery.

    → Inspired by the image compression on its solar-powered website, Low-tech Magazine squeezed the article catalog of their three-volume chronological book series into just one book. Compressing the content — an editorial and design choice — produces a larger reduction in resource use than printing on recycled paper could ever do.

    🕰 18:30 Doors open
    19:00 Book presentation and introduction of Low-tech Magazine
    19:45 Q&A
    20:00 Book sale / snacks & drinks / discussion

    📌 Architecture curating practice,
    et al. architect-run space
    37 Rue des Tanneurs / Huidevettersstraat 137
    1000 Brussels

    (talk will be held in english)

    [E] The new #lulu - book has arrived.
    [D] Das Buch von Lulu ist gerade eingetroffen:

    #KrisDeDecker #HeatingPeopleNotSpaces (2015)

    "Most modern heating systems are primarily based on heating the air. This seems an obvious choice , but there are far worthier alternatives."

  14. @vagrantc Another commment from the author #krisdedecker : There is another reason why the guide does not focus on li-ion. Lead-acid batteries are routinely recycled, li-ion batteries are not. They are also more risky than lead-acid batteries. You have heard the stories of electric scooters going up in flames for no reason: the same could happen to your solar system. Lead-acid is 150 years old and heavy, but for stationary uses they remain the best option, although I understand that people have a hard time swallowing that.

  15. Low-tech Magazine lauches a thematic book collection starting by this Internet focused edition revisiting their archive.
    'How to Build a low-tech Internet?' features articles by #krisdedecker, #marieotsuka, @rra

    Happy to have designed the covers for this collection. More coming soon!
