No but Google living buildings or autonomous buildings or earthship Ecologies and I'm sure you'll find it. The concept is pretty old and has been around for a while but unfortunately hasn't been implemented to a large degree for one reason or another. My guess is because hydroponics systems are relatively expensive so peasant farmers can't usually afford them while people who are rich enough to have piped in water so they don't care. Sure, they can build the buildings with native materials but until they bring down hydroponics prices I don't see it working in the third world.
