| DESIGN NAME: LAWN HOUSE PRIMARY FUNCTION: Temporary Sustainable Small House INSPIRATION: hipogean traditional architecture with vegetable cover UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: it is temporary post disaster house at the same time is economic sustainable architectur, simply using vegetal rolled lawn on the cover OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: House of Architecture of Rome Colonia Renesso Genoa FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: still and lexan for structure and volume. rolled lawn for cover This project is an bio-compatible mobile house, characterized by still structure with envelope in Lexan transparent panels (1,2mm depth). The “tray” system of the envelope allow the placement of the thin earth layer (3 cm) blocked by still grate. Over the envelope we think to put rolled lawn system (60 cm x 3,00 m). The trapezoidal shape allows a good water drainage system and to hold the lawn over the structure. The rolled lawn represents a good insulating material system and very good natural integration with the landscape. It is economic, bio degradable material and is possible to leave it in the place, allowing realization of the new green space. The whole of modules are bolded and measure mt 3,00Lx2,20Hx1,20D At the and of structure is possible to place two transparent panels contain the house door and a window allowing a good natural ventilation system. Finally are superimposed to the structure a series of PV panels in amorphous mono and or polycristalline silicon panels. The PV modules can be anchored to the structure, through docking system , all over lawn surface with a only one liability of south facing . From time to time can be analysed the position of buildup battery allowing the preview about necessary optimization of electric powered. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: house is flexible construction. it is possibile to have various different size. Prototype is 10 sq TAGS: susteinable architecture, temporary house, small house, post disaster house, future house,vegetable house, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Being firmly convinced that architecture is a perfect synthesis of science and art, my inspirations are, on one hand, as I said before, the facts determining the reality around us (this finds expression in the use of new techniques and materials), and, on the other hand, the study of the various arts: music, philosophy, literature, but above all the figurative arts. Art has always been the utmost expression of political, cultural and social thought and is typically expressed and developed long before architecture. The knowledge of art as well as an artist’s mindset are essential components of the spirit of an architect. It is this “artist’s mindset” that distinguishes a real architect from a mere technician of architecture. Our ambitions are to look constantly ahead, at the world around us and project it into the future. Our goal is to offer real answers to the kind of problems that increasingly affect the reality we live in. What we are talking about are events affecting the entire planet such immigration, mobility, complexity, etc., or natural phenomena such as desertification, hurricanes, floods, etc., or even computerization, an increasingly fast communication, etc. … Our purpose is to discern, based on social, anthropological, political experience, what will be the developments of future society without omitting near-future scenarios that might be not so optimistic. In that case, our message becomes a warning that cannot be ignored CHALLENGE: The philosophy behind the work of the studio altro_studio was set up in 1998 by a group of people willing to work in an inter-disciplinary environment (at first the group was composed by one architect, two artists – one of them belonging to the Stalker group –, one historian and urban planner and some collaborators). Taking its cue from the idea of inter-disciplinary activity, altro_studio has developed, from the very beginning, a research stemming from the specific field of housing, starting from nomadic housing (temporary house) and ending with the living unit. The activity mainly addresses the new ways of living the house: temporary, flexible, transformable, mobile ways of living the house. Understanding the new needs of the individual, both on a functional and on a structural level, is what propels altro_studio in its research about new technologies (mainly automation) and new materials with particular reference to the problems of environmental sustainability.
