Full textCon el rápido progreso de la urbanización en China, muchas aldeas se enfrentan a una seria fuga de cerebros. Existe un grave problema de deterioro de la cultura, excepto en algunas aldeas tradicionales. La mayoría de los hogares rurales de nueva construcción son frágiles e inseguros debido a la falta de apoyo profesional y códigos de construcción. Muchos proyectos de reconstrucción rural a gran escala iniciados por el gobierno fracasan debido a la corrupción y a la irresponsabilidad. Los residentes rurales sufren de la falta de infraestructuras y la baja calidad de sus hogares. En la actualidad, hay unas pocas personas de base, activistas, arquitectos, críticos arquitectónicos, medios de comunicación y ONGs que trabajan para la renovación de la arquitectura vernácula china y los asentamientos rurales. Sus obras incluyen teoría y crítica arquitectónica, instalaciones artísticas y proyectos en zonas rurales. Este trabajo es un intento de proponer enfoques sostenibles y modelos alternativos para sentar las bases de la construcción rural contemporánea china, con respecto a la arquitectura, las artes decorativas, los sistemas constructivos y la organización de los usuarios para la promoción. La investigación analiza y compara teorías y muestras representativas de aldeas tradicionales, Proyectos de renovación e instalaciones artísticas desde los puntos de vista de la tecnología, la sociología, la política, el arte, la filosofía, la historia y la sostenibilidad.

Full textThe use of local, natural and unprocessed materials offers promising low impact building solutions. The wide spatial variability of these materials is, however, an obstacle to a large-scale use. The construction strategies developed by past builders were dictated by the local climate and the quality and the amount of locally available construction materials. These construction strategies can be regarded as an optimized management of local, natural and variable resources and are a source of inspiration for modern sustainable building. Unfortunately, this knowledge was lost in Western countries during the 20th century. Vernacular earth construction know-how rediscovering requires the development of rational built heritage investigation means. Another issue regarding the use of natural and variable building material is their compliance with modern building regulation. The development of performance based testing procedures is proposed as a solution to facilitate the use of earth as a building material. A multidisciplinary approach is proposed, combining micromorphology, pedology, geotechnics and heritage disciplines to study vernacular earth heritage. It provides complementary tools to assess pedological sources of construction material and geotechnical characteristics of earth employed in vernacular earth heritage. It also provides a detailed description of the construction process of vernacular earth heritage. Using these results, it was possible to draw resource maps and provide a scale of magnitude of resource availability at regional scale. Two performance based testing procedures were proposed in order to take into account the natural variability of earth in a modern building context. Earth construction will play an important role in the modern sustainable building of the 21st century if the actors of the sector adopt earth construction processes able to meet social demand, with low environmental impact and at an affordable cost. The study of earth heritage demonstrated the ability of historical earth builders to innovate in order to comply with social demand variations and technical developments. Earth construction benefits of an old and rich past and it would be a non-sense to leave this past behind. The analysis of earth heritage and the rediscovering of vernacular construction techniques is a valuable source of inspiration for modern earth construction. The valorisation of vernacular knowledge will save time, energy and avoid repeating past mistakes. The future of earth construction should be a continuation of past vernacular earth construction

Full textVernacular architecture in the jungle has a lot of historical value, since they are the first constructions of the first settlers that inhabit this area of Peru. In the Ucayali region, traditional buildings are based on wood, bamboo and palm leaves, since these are the predominant materials of the Ucayalina jungle. Likewise, it should be noted that this region was and is occupied by the Shipibo Conibo ethnic group, who have a jungle culture with importance to the cosmic gods, so we also have much reverence for the mythical serpent the Yacumama. Well, the ceremonies aimed at these characters in an environment that is very important for them, which is the maloca. Who is a wide light architecture with a circular or rectangular shape and as a concept to house the main authorities of the ethnic group and / or all the members of the group to carry out an event; this environment being a public space. On the other hand, the construction system used in early times for the region is currently being devalued by the same citizens. Since, what last as precarious constructions, without value and of short duration; so it can be deduced that this ancient architecture is in extinction in the city. For that reason it seeks to promote and encourage; through vernacular architecture; to citizens, so that they can use more accessible and economical materials with a use of reinforced construction system, being the combination of industrial and natural materials.

Full textThis research aims to demonstrate that the re-use of local building materials in the Jordan Valley can contribute to the autonomy of rural Palestinian communities. To achieve this, we question the evolution of the earthen building sector in these territories. We assume that there is a close link between the transformations of the rural society, its economic and political structure and the transformations that appeared in the earthen building sector. Three historical periods have been identified and have verified this hypothesis: the case of Palestine before 1920, the period between 1920 and 1970 and finally the current situation. Through these evolutions, we understood that the re-use of local materials allows real autonomy when the earthen building sector is integrated to the ongoing social and economic practices. This idea was verified by studying the current context where this building sector knows a temporary reconstruction. This research is divided into three parts. The first part details the relation that exists between earthen architecture and the concept of sustainable development; we will be explaining the case of Palestine before 1920. The second part specifies the changing values of rural society that have taken place between 1920 and 1970 and the transformations of the habitat linked to it. Finally, the last section attempts to assess the reconstruction of this building sector by detailing the current political and economic context and confronting it with the projects led by the “new actors” on the ground

Full textThe school of the Ashaninka Cosmovision arises from a need of the community “El Milagro” to recover the ancestral knowledge that is being lost, such as textiles, gathering and healing; where traditional education does not gather the importance of this knowledge. Also, the project is designed so that the community can build it and adapt it to their needs. The project arises from the Ashaninka Cosmovision, where all the parts belong to a whole unit and act together in a harmonious way creating spatial systems, where the ancestral activities converge with the educational ones; environmental systems, where rain, solar rays, winds and compost are used; and construction systems, in which a flexible and adaptable modular structure is developed for the different uses of the school. In this way, improve traditional construction techniques and materials such as wood and natural fibers. Therefore, design promote a quick and simple construction taking into account material and spatial expressions to stimulate ancestral educational cohesion.

Full textEarth construction is becoming a popular topic in Western architecture, yet in the context of traditional Malian construction techniques earth has largely been abandoned. This paradox asks us to turn our attention to the reality on the ground in West Africa, in order to understand the implications of using earth as a building material, especially on an urban scale. Today the earthen city is essentially synonymous with cultural heritage, but there is one place where it is alive and well— informal urbanization. This sector is stimulated by the necessities of survival, which generate remarkable spatial dynamics. From this general observation, this study was narrowed to a small informal fishing district in the city of Bamako. The ultimate purpose of this research is to highlight an urban logic buried and hidden in informal space. This work consists in writing a theory of informal urbanization that is contextually and culturally specific, according to a "bottom-up" principle. The narrator takes advantage of the peculiar perspective of the traveler in order to shed light on more universal questions. Indeed, the position of the stranger allows us to see the reality of informal spaces in a new light. The act of writing makes explicit certain processes that animate the site; it develops a "point of view" that fundamentally changes urban representations. Lessons learned as well as derived from the field pave the way for certain vernacular principles to be reused on site. At the same time, such a vernacular theory allows us to transfer these principles to other sites by means of deterritorialization

Full textThis thesis takes as its analytical perspective the contemporary manifestations of vernacular architecture production and building cultures within the complex correlation of forces and interests that shape and determine the phenomena of capitalist production of popular housing.The analytic framework is delineated from a series of reflections of theoretical and conceptual order, in relation to the analysis of a popular housing building site within an agrarian reform rural settlement in Brazil. This assumes the form of a field school in loco on the building site and is projected as a stage for experiments and experiences, where the proposal is to combine pedagogy and production in the same space. The processes of knowledge formation and construction occur simultaneously and complementarily to practical achievements and development of technologies.This building site is thus transformed into a tool for the constitution of a dialectical space of social work, where the orientation of its productive experimenting is focused on the challenge of designing a house from the local generation of social technologies, through the use of natural materials and reuse of discarded resources. A theoretical work, presented in the initial of the thesis, provides the framework for this fieldwork, which feeds back our reflection on processes of production and development of new vernacular architectures, integrated into their territories
Esta tese possui como perspectiva de análise as manifestações contemporâneas de produção das arquiteturas vernáculas e culturas construtivas, dentro da complexa correlação de forças e interesses que formatam e determinam os fenômenos de produção capitalista das habitações populares. Seu contorno analítico está delineado a partir de uma série de reflexões de ordem teórico-conceituais relacionadas com as análises de um canteiro habitacional dentro de um assentamento rural de reforma agrária. Este, assume a forma de um canteiro-escola e se projeta como palco de experimentações e vivências, onde se propõe como prática o exercício de conjugar pedagogia e produção no mesmo espaço. Os processos de formação e construção dos conhecimentos ocorrem de maneira complementar e simultânea às realizações práticas e ao desenvolvimento das tecnologias. Tal canteiro se transforma, assim, em ferramenta para constituição de um espaço dialético de trabalho social, onde o experimentar produtivo está focado no desafio de conceber uma habitação a partir da geração local de tecnologias sociais, por meio do uso de materiais naturais e da reutilização de recursos descartados. O trabalho teórico, apresentado nas primeiras partes da tese, define o quadro de sua práxis, que por sua vez, realimenta a reflexão sobre os processos de produção e desenvolvimento de novas formas de arquiteturas vernáculas, integradas aos seus territórios

Full textO impacte ambiental da construção e operação dos edifícios é hoje significativo. Para mitigar esse impacte surgiu o conceito de certificação ambiental de edifícios. Dos inúmeros sistemas que existem no mundo nenhum se especializou em áreas protegidas onde o ambiente é mais vulnerável. No caso de Portugal onde o território classificado é extenso (23%), e a arquitectura vernácula está muitas vezes associada aos parques naturais, procurou-se nesta tese perceber as sinergias entre a reabilitação do património nas AP`s, o turismo de natureza e a certificação ambiental. Depois de aplicado um sistema existente a dois estudos de caso, determinou-se que uma adaptação ao sistema usado seria necessária para responder aos requisitos específicos em causa. Assim o objectivo desta tese é criar um novo método de certificação especifico da reabilitação de edifícios vernáculos em áreas protegidas, para fins de turismo de natureza. A tese desenvolve-se em três partes: na primeira parte foi colocada a hipótese e feita a revisão da literatura sobre sistemas de certificação ambiental de edificios. Na segunda parte dois casos de estudo foram depois avaliados pelo sistema LiderA. Na terceira parte é apresentado um outro nível de certificação chamado CAAAP que deriva do LiderA onde a maioria dos critérios foram modificados ou complementados. Seguidamente os dois estudos de caso são analisados numa perspectiva CAAAP. A concretização deste sistema depende da elaboração de fichas de análise e ferramentas que serão alvo de futura investigação. Pretende-se que o sistema CAAAP seja aplicado por arquitectos em várias áreas protegidas onde deverá contribuir para o incentivo do mercado de reabilitação da arquitectura vernácula e em último caso do turismo sustentável.
The environmental impact of construction of buildings is now quite significant. In order to mitigate that impact a new concept was born and named environmental assessment of buildings. Of all the environmental building assessment systems there are in the world, none is specialized on protected areas where the environment is more sensitive. In Portugal, where 23% of the territory is classified and where vernacular architecture is well represented namely in natural parks, there is an opportunity to create sinergies between, rehabilitation, vernacular architecture, protected areas and nature tourism by using a building environmental assessment tool. After applying an existing environmental tool to two case studies, it was determined that an adaptation was needed in order to consider the specific requisites at stake. Therefore this thesis goal is to create a new environmental assessment tool for Portugal for the specific case of rehabilitation of vernacular architecture in protected areas and for sustainable tourism purposes. The thesis is divided in 3 parts: in the first one an hipothesis is stated and a literature review on certification tools is presented. In the second part two study cases are assessed by LiderA. In the third part another level of assessment called CAAAP (Environnmental assessment method for architecture in protected areas) is proposed that derives from LiderA. The tool was then applied to the case studies. It will be further developed and tested in the future. New complemetary tools and further research are also proposed. The ultimate goal is that the CAAAP tool will be applied by architects in several other protected areas, in order to promote sustainable rehabilitation and sustainable tourism.

Full textNesta breve reflexão proponho-me entender e dissertar sobre conceitos que me apoiarão no desenvolvimento do projecto final de mestrado, que se debruçará sobre o tema da habitação evolutiva no bairro da Cova da Moura. Este é um bairro informal que se desenvolve na periferia da cidade de Lisboa e apresenta características singulares evidenciadas na sua dimensão espácio-temporal, caracterizada por espaços complexos e diversos, com identidade cultural própria, dos quais a comunidade local se apropria vivendo-os harmoniosamente. A elevada densidade populacional, a prática da auto-construção e a espontaneidade da distribuição das actividades são, assim, pontos cruciais que criam uma imagem pouco usual do bairro e que define um gosto associado a uma estética singular, produto da arquitectura popular que se adapta às condições do local, promovendo a reciclagem urbana. Proponho, para concluir, que olhemos a cidade informal como exemplo potenciador de sociabilidades e que, ao invés de destruirmos o seu tecido urbano original submetendo-o a transformações urbanísticas que não favorecem a apropriação pela comunidade, estimulemos a contaminação da cidade formal por essas relações sócio espaciais que se desenvolvem na cidade informal. Penso que esta é uma solução ao alcance de todos que permite suturar a ruptura entre as partes e encher de vida a cidade.
In this brief discussion I propose to understand and develop concepts that will support the final draft of the Master, that will look into the issue of housing in the evolutionary neighborhood of Cova da Moura. This is an informal neighborhood that develops in the outskirts of Lisbon and has unique features in its spatial-temporal dimension, characterized by complex and diverse spaces, with its own cultural identity, of which the local community appropriates them harmoniously. The high population density, the practice of self-construction and spontaneity of the distribution of activities are crucial points that create an unusual image of the neighborhood and that defines a like associated with a unique aesthetic, a product of popular architecture that fits site conditions, promoting urban recycling. In conclusion, we look the informal city as an example of sociability and that instead of destroying the original urban tissue by subjecting it to urban transformations that do not favor ownership by the community, nurture the contamination of the city by these relationships developed in the informal city. This is an affordable solution that allows all suturing the rupture between the parties and fill the city with life.

Full textIn the context of the current energy crisis, energy consumption and the carbon trace have become a mayor influence in the architectonic conception, the first link in the construction process. Recent constrains associated with international agreements such as the Rio Summit (1992), the Kyoto Protocole and, specifically in France, Grenelle delʼEnvironnement Round Table (2007), have diversified the number of stakeholders in the architectural conception, traditionally reserved to architects. The race to reduce by hal fenergy consumption in buildings (RT 2012) as well as the goal to cut by four greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 (Grenelle de lʼEnvironnement), puts the architectural creative process in jeopardy. Such demanding requirements favor trivial technical solutions and encourage standardization and off shoring of architectural elements.This researchʼs purpose is to place the architectural approach at the center of the sustainable conception. This allows the validation of the performance of a houseʼs shape as an effective response to environmental constrains. For this, we have placed our interest in the vernacular house, usually characterized by simple forms and adapted to their sociocultural and geo-climatic context. This habitat, which has resulted from a long term optimization, is inevitably sustainable. The vernacular habitat is analyzed herein in the search of the motivations that have shaped it. In consequence, geographical and climate circumstances that could have determined the shape of houses have been considered. We claim that from the analysis of visible architectural features it is possible to obtain information on the geo-climatic environment as well as the influence relationships that connect them.These influence relationships are modeled following a qualitative approach supported by a qualitative representation of knowledge. The representation, based upon qualitative functions, enables automatic reasoning, starting from gathered awareness of geo-climatic environment, for establishing corresponding architectural features. Finally, the modeled result both allows the evaluation of the form of new houses and assist the conception of houses adapted to their local context

Full textThe author uses his knowledge of geology to throw light on linguistic, architectural and economics aspects of the state industry in Spain. This approach also includes an archaeological and historical study of the uses of state. The relationship between geology and toponymy are analysed. Is only from the 1st. Century a. D. Onwards that the use for roofing begant to extend, under roman influence, across the state-bearing areas of Spain. Vestiges of the first building in the liberian peninsula to be covered by slate are identified in Galicia. A model is proposed to splain the utilisation of slate in popular architecture which takes account of the climatological, orographic and geological constraints. The use of slate in monumental architecture is also analysed in areas outside the slate-producing regions, and king Philip II is shown to have played a role in the introduction of this construction material to Spain. The economics constrains which controlled the use of slate in royal buildings appear to have been scarcity of the resource, the difficulties of transport and the shortage of skilled slaters. -An analysis is presented of the geological resources, the economic production base and the market. The history of slate production is subdivised into two periods based on the mode of working. The limit between the pre-industrial and the industrial periods is placed at 1968, being the date of construction of the first industrial plant in Galicia. The pre-industrial period is itself subdivided into the pre-artisanal ad artisanal phases, the limit being situated in 1559 with the arrival of the first craftsmen working for Philip II. The explosive growth of slate production, being a consequence of an spanding external market, now places Spain in the forefront of producer countries. As a result, this has led to a decline of the traditional slate industries in european countries. In conclusion, the uses of slate over two thousand years bear witness to the social and cultural history of Spain

Full textTaking the Irish cabin as object, this thesis deconstructs the outsider accounts and their contribution to a negative interpretation of such, particularly within the context of postcolonial scholarly literature. Such outsider accounts have an added significance in scholarship in so far as they retained a strict uniformity even while other formal studies changed perspective. This reveals certain ideological assumptions which are examined. The collision between the imposition of a dominating knowledge and practices drawn from indigenous wisdom is examined through the prism of descriptions and interpretations of materials and labour in specific ecological and economic contexts. A case study in the Claddagh village in the West of Ireland examines these contradictions in detail. The survival of such outsider accounts has had its consequence in contemporary constructions as to the meaning and function of the vernacular house. The recovery of the Irish cabin as an object of study within vernacular architecture must be achieved within a context of examining clearance, changes in housing and the major restructuring of economy and society occasioned by the Great Famine. The recovery of a proper account of their function as perceived by those who lived in such habitations in the rural economy is central to this thesis

Full textSchool architecture in Quebec is a soaring field: several recent researches and large governmental budgets can confirm it. Unfortunately, the major philosophical reflection needed about space and education still remain to be constituted. This, considering its possible societal, cultural, social and ethical impacts. My purpose is to document the subject in a philosophical way, with the intention of precising which elements have to be considered in order to think about school architecture. To do so, I analyze some governmental rules such as professional competencies, teachers’ obligations and school missions. To structure this huge subject, still “skeletal”, I chose to organize my work with four levels of space (and another type of space). The first level, designed space, has a hermeneutical function: school space must include significant elements and be designed “logogenically”. This level of space also includes ethical obligations: environmental concerns engage us to create sustainable spaces, which are built with a situated architecture, protecting sites and ecumene. Vernacular architecture, which involves dwellers in the creation process, allows a knotworking collaboration that is essential between the architect and all the actors (teachers, students, families, community, etc.). This close relation leads to consider the architect as a pedagogue, and to give him some responsibilities related to the targeted professional competencies (cultural and ethical). The second level, represented space, is about construction of a topogenesis, which uses body, but also an occidental representation of space sadly generalized. This phenomenon requires decentration to “apprehend” school space, liberating it with language and game. With this, I dare to propose a sort of “pedagogical nomadism”, that is to say more informal and dynamic practices. The third level, lived space, uses the bergsonian distinction that opposes the mathematical vision of space to that of a place. I can then consider the qualitative aspect of school as a place, respecting the seven teachers’ obligations and the three missions of Quebec schools. This place, neither completely private, nor completely public, can be seen as a space of socialization. The fourth level, dwelling, is about fundamentally ontological human determinations. This highest level of space is possible using intuition, which creates an immediate relation to space. The esthetical aspect, inspired by Hölderlin, who considers that “man dwells poetically”, leads me to propose school as an artwork, by transposing the four qualities of the musical work, namely beauty, sustainability, teaching and sincerity. The last type of space (vicarial space or nonplace) completes the four precedent levels. It is a partially transversal space, which causes deterritorialization of school. This means that specificities of physical school space, such as critical dimension (which cannot be accomplished by virtual space), have to be recognized.

Full textThe multipartite aspect of architecture and of architectural analysis implies a multifarial approach to them. - however peripherical it may be, the artistic approach will be considered through the analyses given by the witnesses of an architecture that has been achieved according to certain characteristics, the main role being played by the raw ma- terial. - "lauzes" refers to the roofing material used in the rural architecture of that particular south-east zone of the dordogne departement : the sarlat area. - chapter one of the study is an introduction to its nature, shape, usage and featuring. A rule can be drawn : the principle of accumulation. - the way the surroundings are captured, the choice and particular analysis of the building induce a new postulate for chapter two : "en route".

These trends and patterns vary essentially according to the physical environment, but also affected by socio-cultural, demographic and economic structures. After a general geographical overview of iran and of the main features of its rural settlements, three regions chosen on a climatic basis are successively analysed : - guilan, representative of the humid temperate zone; - yazd, representative of hot, arid or desert regions; - eastern azerbaidjan, representative of cold and mountainous regions. The study brings out the difficulties encountered during the field research phase of this work and then establishes a schematic comparison of rural architectural characteristics in the three selected regions. Finally, on the basis of the issues raised and remarks brought out in the work, concrete proposals for the development of rural settlements in iran are put forward

Full textThe last 25 years have been ground-breaking in architectural design on low energy consumption in cold climate, mainly in north-western cultures. For an architect today, the method to design a passive house in cold weather and the choice of the Architectural Actions (AA), are clearly established. When the question comes to how to build a passive house in warmer, hot, and very hot climates, the strategies arepoor and often results of a combination of western strategies with a local relook. From several visits in MiddleEast countries, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, Palestine, Qatar, we concluded that the strategy for low consumption houses is not established yet and poorly grasped. The lack of training on low energy consumption in hot climate and the low price of energy, force designers and owners to rely on over usage of air-conditioning systems as measures to catch up on poor bioclimatic design. This method proposes a new approach on bioclimatic designfor hot climates from an architect point of view. It is based on a Cooling Degrees Days (CDD) and Heating Degrees Days (HDD) approach, a state of art of contemporary architecture and professional experience. Localclimates are classified according to the energy-hunger of six situations of the exterior temperature during night/day : cold/cold, cold/cool, cool/warm, cold/hot, cool/hot, and hot/hot as CDD and HDD of the twelve month ofthe year. A group of days on one of those situations will be called “climatic season”. In parallel we will create two main “climatic situations”: people keep the house closed to the exterior or opened to the exterior. We will associate passive strategies to these two differents ways to live in the house: “cold” and “hot” to a closed houseand “cool” and “warm” to a house opened up to the exterior. This method allows classifying any climate in theworld under these six climatic seasons. Our climate classification can now be associated to different strategies that we will call “architectural actions” as house is closed or opened. We could already start to design a house from here, but to better understand the influence of each action we have created an Energy+ model to analyze individually the effect of a single AA. The performance of each action is evaluated under the situations of six representative journeys as well as a year round on a very hot city: Dubai. The result of the effect good or badof action during each different season situation allows us to create the best combination of AA that are best fora year round climate resulting of the combination of several climatic seasons. This low-tech method will help usto find the common features of the houses of different hot climates of a big region and find the best typology. We have carried in parallel a cost study of the base house and the financial incidence of each single action to evaluate also the payback period by action

Full textThe agricultural revolution of the second part of the 2Oth century has led to a deep change in the architecture of farm buildings. During the intensification and modernisation of farming practices, traditional edifices have been replaced by industrial buildings. This thesis deals with the incredible split that happened between architecture and farming at that time. How did the gradual transformation of rural buildings take place? What were the main periods of progression and breakdown? How has innovation spread? Who were the main actors of this story? The aim of these questions is to show that the new architectural forms that arose did not only result from the evolution of building techniques and farming programs. Indeed, they are also due to the desire of farmers, who had the economical and political lead role in rural areas to be the driving force of modernization

Full textThis thesis proposes an approach based on the study of the influence of natural ventilation in the evolution of tropical architecture, past, present and future. This work starts from the observations related to the energy crisis and its consequences, global warming and the excessive use of air conditioning. It focuses on the tropical environment, which is experiencing rapid demographic, economic and therefore energy growth. First, it answers the question: Could a common, humid tropical climate have produced original and common architectural typologies, despite a strong geographical and temporal dispersion, at a time when the physics of buildings was not in use? In a second step, we tried to characterize thermal comfort and by which devices (architectural and technical) it is obtained for a traditional representative Reunionese "hut". Thirdly, we asked ourselves: How can we transpose these old concepts into contemporary projects, respecting which principles, with which tools and to obtain which results? This is based on an evaluation of two case studies, L'Ilet du Centre and Collège Bouéni, the tools used, their context of use and the efficiency of these devices. Finally, we have recently become aware of the need for a change of scale. Through a case study, we studied the ZAC Cœur de ville de La Possession, how to propose the transcription and ensure the sustainability of the natural ventilation chain, studied in the first three parts, in order to make the concept of a wind city applicable, enforceable, and therefore reproducible. Results: In terms of results, the study of these examples showed the importance of natural ventilation in the tropical zone, the impact on built forms, the solutions allowing comfort to be obtained in a traditional Reunionese hut, the role of the distant and nearby context, the risk of dysfunction in the event of modification of it, the interest of the appropriate use of new design tools, including aerothermal engineering and their adaptation to the geographical, climatic and programming context. We then proposed to ensure the sustainability of these devices on a building scale by moving to an urban scale. This thesis work made it possible in particular to make proposals for the regulatory transposition of these rules into the PLU. To this end, we have established constructability rules in the Cœur de ville project of La Possession, which preserves the potential for natural ventilation of buildings in the urban fabric through an integrated airflow engineering approach. The regulatory transposition of these rules into the PLU has finally made it possible to define a right to natural ventilation. This is a first applied example of regulatory wind energy planning while highlighting the need for rigorous operational monitoring to ensure its complete success

Full textConsidered as an -historical subject, rural private dwelling can be integrated into the sphere of modernity due to its emergence in recent centuries, marked by the spread of new social manners, the appearance of architecture treatises and the urban development. With the help of archives and a corpus of 17th-and 18th - centuries breton buildings, the method is combining history and social science allow to study the relations between inhabitants and their habitations. The internal organization results from the existence of architectural devices permitting some selected areas and passages according to the occupant’s status. The technical factors related to the hierarchical organization of the society limit the evolution of forms. The relations between the rural community and the urban/learned community define the factors that influenced rural construction and some normative views of state institutions. Since the 18th c. , the private habitation has been part and parcel of technical and moral concerns

Full textVery present on archaeological sites, the vestiges of earthen architecture are arousing a growing interest, for the scientific community, for the authorities in charge of heritage protection, for the local populations and for the general public, fan of cultural tourism. More and more projects for study, conservation and enhancement of earthen architecture in archaeological context are emerging in the world, with a view to contributing to local and territorial development. These projects involve multiple skills, borrowing in particular from the disciplines of archeology, of architecture, of heritage conservation, and from the field of heritage valorisation. Specialists in each field are invited to collaborate on projects that are more numerous and more complex, integrating the inputs and expectations of very diverse stakeholders, in a holistic and contextualized approach to heritage management (Agnew, Bridgland 2006).The conditions governing these new collaborations are studied in depth in this thesis, in order to analyze the interdisciplinary challenges and the resulting training issues. We make the hypothesis that the links between the various actors involved in the archaeological heritage generate more specific training prospects, and even the emergence of new trades at the crossroads and interfaces of the disciplines, which would better meet current expectations with regard to this heritage.The research is based on field surveys and stakeholder meetings realized over the long term (fifteen years of scientific and professional practice), at five main sites and twelve reference sites, mainly in Asia, but also in Africa and in Latin America. An analysis grid allows to compare the practices observed on the field with the international recommendations in terms of study, conservation and valorisation of the archaeological heritage built with earth. These recommendations are based on a corpus of reference publications, international charters and declarations, conferences on earthen architecture and international programs on this theme. The results of the comparative analysis lead us to make methodological proposals and to formulate guidelines for more specific training programs. In this way, we wish to contribute to the new research and training dynamics that are set up around the earthen archaeological heritage and its contribution to local development

Full textThe vernacular architecture features, in a particular way, a plurality of constraints — geographical, geological, economical and cultural — from the places where it is. The constraints of each region were materialized in unique and diverse ways of building between them. In common they have the fact that they were parsimonious evolutions, empirically refined over generations. In its long evolution, and inserted in a context of scarcity, tpeoplehey developed pragmatic strategies of adaptation to the environment and of profound rationalization of the available resources. Nothing was preferred, passed over or ignored because communities had the empiric notion that their welfare depended intrinsically from the balance with their surroundings. However, these architectural approaches were abandoned, and the inherent knowledge lost, driven by the pejorative connotations that relate it with underdevelopment, both in materials as in lifestyles. Industrialization homogenized the different ways to build and propelled the spread of a universal architecture, disconnected from its environment, heavily dependent on energy and resource consumption. In this sense, at the moment when society seeks for cleaner energy and more sustainable buildings, it is pertinent to revisit vernacular buildings in order to develop and adapt their strategies to the current construction context, contributing to their sustainability. The knowledge inherent to this type of constructions will contribute to reduce waste and energy consumption through the use of local materials and traditional techniques, developed on the need of adaptation to a specific climate and territory. Portugal is no exception, and despite its small size, is profuse in these manifestations of architecture. Based on several surveys of Portuguese popular architecture this research identifies, organizes and classifies the main building systems and architectural strategies according to sustainability principles. To complement the study, are explored are exposed considerations about their potential for integration in contemporary construction. The building systems and strategies presented in this paper are characterized by being passive measures and by having low embodied energy, being simple and pragmatic. In this sense, they feature a great potential to be considered both in the design of new buildings as in refurbishment interventions.
A arquitetura vernacular materializa de forma particular uma pluralidade de condicionalismos geográficos, geológicos, económicos e culturais _ dos locais onde se insere. Os condicionalismos de cada região materializaram-se em modos de construir ímpares e díspares entre si. Em comum têm o facto de serem evoluções parcimoniosas, aprimoradas empiricamente ao longo de gerações. Na sua longa evolução, e inseridas num contexto de escassez, as construções vernaculares desenvolveram estratégias pragmáticas de adaptação ao meio envolvente e de profunda racionalização dos recursos disponíveis. Nada era preferido, preterido ou ignorado porque as comunidades tinham a noção, por via empírica, que o seu bem-estar dependia intrinsecamente do equilíbrio com o meio envolvente. No entanto, assistiu-se ao abandono destas abordagens arquitetónicas, e à perda do conhecimento a si inerente, impulsionado por conotações pejorativas que as relacionam com subdesenvolvimento, quer a nível dos materiais como no quer do modo de habitar. A industrialização homogeneizou os modos de construir e impulsionou a disseminação de uma arquitetura universal, desarraigada do seu meio, muito dependente de energia e predadora de recursos. Nesse sentido, num momento de viragem, em que se procuram formas de energia mais limpas e edifícios mais eficientes, é pertinente voltar a estudar as construções vernaculares no intuito de desenvolver e adaptar as suas estratégias ao contexto actual da construção, contribuindo para a sua sustentabilidade. O conhecimento inerente a este tipo de construções contribuirá para a redução do desperdício e dos consumos energéticos através da utilização de técnicas tradicionais e materiais locais, desenvolvidos na necessidade de adaptação a um território e clima específicos. Portugal não é excepção, e apesar da sua reduzida dimensão, é profuso no número de exemplos deste tipo de construções. Tomando como base os diversos inquéritos realizados ã arquitetura popular em Portugal esta investigação identifica, organiza e classifica os principais sistemas construtivos e estratégias arquitectónicas segundo princípios de sustentabilidade. Para complementar o estudo tecem-se considerações sobre o seu potencial de integração na construção contemporânea. As estratégias e sistemas construtivos apresentados neste trabalho caracterizam-se por terem um funcionamento passivo e por possuírem baixa energia incorporada, pautando-se pela simplicidade e pragmatismo, pelo que possuem um grande potencial para serem consideradas, tanto na concepção de novos edifícios como em operações de reabilitação.

Full textEntre a Serra do Montemuro e a margem sul do Rio Douro encontra-se Cinfães, concelho de grande diversidade de paisagens e identidades, o que se deve muito à variedade de materiais de construção – colmo, ardósia, granito e xisto, mas também aos usos e costumes. Para além desta diversidade, o concelho caracteriza-se também por um conjunto de núcleos rurais que se mantiveram no esquecimento devido, essencialmente, às dificuldades de acessibilidade. Embora tal esquecimento tenha ajudado a conservação da arquitetura vernacular – mencionadas já no Inquérito à Arquitetura Portuguesa dos anos 50, tanto as entidades locais como os proprietários têm descurado o seu valor patrimonial e identitário, contribuindo assim para a descaracterização e perda da harmonia espacial entre o sistema Homem-Meio-Casa.Hoje, o abandono da população e a consequente degradação dos edifícios torna urgente a definição de uma estratégia de valorização e reabilitação destes núcleos, bem como de sensibilização da população local para potenciar e incutir a importância de salvaguardar o que é deles, mas também de todos nós.Esta investigação, apresenta, assim, uma estratégia de reabilitação elaborada no âmbito de uma dissertação de mestrado em arquitetura. Esta estratégia foi desenvolvida em torno de dois conjuntos de aglomerados rurais tendo como objetivo a valorização das suas caraterísticas endógenas. A partir dum conjunto de ações, desenvolvidas com o envolvimento da população, pretendemos valorizar a identidade local de cada núcleo, aumentar a qualidade de vida, contribuir para a fixação da população e fomentar o turismo. Este último objetivo deseja-se que aconteça de uma forma natural, possibilitando ao turista experienciar as vivências e as atividades locais, não podendo o turismo ser um fim em si mesmo, mas antes uma consequência da promoção dos elementos locais, da preservação e fomentação da sua originalidade, envolvendo o Homem com a sua História numa dialética intergeracional que se quer socialmente inclusiva.
Cinfães is situated between Serra do Montemuro and the south bank of the Douro River. It is a county with a great diversity of landscapes and identities, due to the variety of construction materials - thatch, slate, granite and shale, but also to the customs and traditions. Beyond this diversity, the county is also characterized by a group of rural centres that have remained in oblivion due, essentially, to accessibility difficulties. Although such oblivion has helped to preserve these forms of vernacular architecture - already mentioned in the survey on Portuguese Architecture of the 1950s, both local entities and owners have neglected their patrimonial and identity value, thus contributing to the decharacterization and loss of spatial harmony between the Man-Environment-House system. Today, the abandonment of the population and, consequently, the degradation of buildings makes it urgent to define a strategy for the valorization and rehabilitation of such centres, as well as to raise the awareness of the local population in order to promote and instill the importance of safeguarding what is theirs, as well as of all of us.Thereby this research presents a rehabilitation strategy elaborated within the scope of a master's degree dissertation in architecture. This strategy was developed around two sets of rural clusters with the goal of valuing their endogenous features. Based on a set of actions, developed with the population involvement, we intend to value the local identity of each centre, increase the quality of life, contribute to the establishment of the population and promote tourism. This last goal is intended to happen in a natural way, enabling the tourist to experience local experiences and activities, and tourism can not be an end in itself, but rather a consequence of promoting local elements, preserving and fostering its originality, involving Man with his History in an intergenerational dialectic that one wishes to be socially inclusive.

Full textA presente dissertação de Mestrado desenvolve-se no objectivo de estudar as construções elementares de planta circular existentes na Serra do Caldeirão, no intuito de explorar um conceito base para desenvolver um projecto de arquitectura contemporânea vernacular. E contribuir com ideias programáticas para ajudar no desenvolvimento cultural e económico de um território desfavorecido existente no Algarve. Estas construções de planta circular são elementos arquitectónicos singulares na paisagem da Serra do Caldeirão, para as quais existe interesse na divulgação, na reabilitação, na protecção, e na preservação, pois remontam aos princípios base da construção, revelam parte das origens da nossa arquitectura vernacular e são fragmentos valiosíssimos do nosso património histórico rural, testemunhos e herança do nosso passado em vias de desaparecimento. É surpreendente a forma como integram o local e a paisagem envolvente, como são ecologicamente sustentáveis na construção e durante a sua existência, recorrendo sempre a materiais naturais e locais. Notavelmente satisfazendo a utilização para que são concebidas e aferindo, no caso das que podem constituir abrigo humano, um conforto térmico interior único sem recorrer a tecnologias e materiais mais recentes. Neste âmbito e para um estudo completo conjugou-se o trabalho de pesquisa bibliográfica com um inédito e exaustivo levantamento no território, que analisa e pesquisa os exemplares originais existentes. Em sistemática interacção com as populações locais, no intuído de absorver a herança e o conhecimento de pessoas ainda capazes de construir, restaurar e conservar este tipo de edificações, bem como recolher informação sobre antecedentes históricos relevantes. A dissertação estrutura-se em duas partes. A primeira parte de investigação e análise contextual, incide na teoria da arquitectura, com uma breve investigação sobre o mito da “cabana primitiva” e os protótipos da arquitectura, mais concretamente no modelo puro do tholos e sua evolução no tempo. Direccionando-se depois para o estudo do território seleccionado, a Serra do Caldeirão e naturalmente ao pormenor as construções elementares de planta circular, que são classificadas em quatro tipos. Consoante os materiais aplicados na sua construção: as edificações erigidas inteiramente em pedra, em materiais vegetais, num conceito híbrido utilizando as duas técnicas anteriores e finalmente as edificações em pedra e cobertura em telha artesanal. Como trabalho conclusivo desta primeira parte, apresenta-se a catalogação do levantamento e investigação de campo. Na segunda parte, implementa-se o conhecimento arquitectónico destas construções de planta circular, num conjunto edificado de nova planta na aldeia do Barranco do Velho. Inicia-se o trabalho com uma breve análise sobre a localidade onde se integra o projecto, seguindo à apresentação do programa e do conceito para desenvolvimento de um empreendimento de turismo em espaço rural, mais concretamente na inovadora tipologia de refúgios de turismo cultural e de natureza. Finalizando com apresentação da proposta de requalificação da paisagem e arquitectónica.
The present dissertation unfolds with the aims to study the basic constructions of circular plan, as it exists in the 'Serra do Caldeirão', in an effort to explore the fundamental concept in order to develop a project of contemporary and vernacular architecture; and to contribute with programmatic ideas to enable the cultural and economic development of a depressed area of the Algarve. These constructions of circular plan are exceptional architectonic elements in the landscape of the 'Serra do Caldeirão'. There is an interest in the marketing, the rehabilitation, the protection and the preservation of this mentioned area, as these elements date back to the basic origins of construction and architecture. They reveal, in part, the origins of our native architecture and they are extremely valuable fragments of our rustic history; evidence and legacy of our past, in danger of extinction. It is surprising the way in which they integrate in the area and the compelling landscape, and how they are ecologically sustainable in their construction and durability, always using natural and local materials. They remarkably fulfil the application for which they were created, in the case of those which constitute human shelters, provide unique and comfortable warm interior without turning to more recent technologies and materials. To this extent and for a more complete study, the task of bibliographic research is combined with an inedited and exhaustive survey of the region, in order to analyze and investigate the existing original constructions. There is a systematic interaction with the local population, with the aim of absorbing the heritage and the knowledge of individuals still capable of building, restoring and conserving these types of construction, as well as gathering information about relevant historical records. This dissertation is structured in two parts. The first part consists of research and contextual analysis, relating to the theory of architecture, with a brief study of the myth of the 'primitive hut' and the prototypes of architecture, more precisely, in the pure example of the tholos and its histórica evolution. Later it leads to the study of the selected area of the 'Serra do Caldeirão' and, in greater detail, the elementary circular plan constructions, which are classified in four types, depending on the materials used in their construction: buildings completely made of stone; vegetable matter; a hybrid concept using both of these techniques; and finally, the constructions in stone with craft tiles on the roof. This first part concludes with a catalogue of the research and field work. The second part comprises the architectural cognition of these circular building plans, in an ensemble made out of new plans in the village of 'Barranco do Velho'. The task begins with a brief analysis of the area where the project takes place, followed by the presentation of the programme and the concept for the development of a rural tourism enterprise. In other words, the innovative typology of nature and cultural tourism refuges. It concludes with the presentation of the proposal of architectonic reassesment of the landscape.

Sendo o autor da presente Dissertação natural da cidade de Bragança e com fortes ligações à aldeia de Quintanilha, surgiu como foco de preocupação principal a escolha de um tema de projecto que se identificasse com o próprio e com as suas raízes, e que servisse em simultâneo de exemplo para intervenções futuras por parte de outros em casos de reabilitações em aldeias de xisto em Portugal. Assim sendo e para efeitos de estudo e execução de projecto, foi escolhida a aldeia de Quintanilha situada no conselho de Bragança, Nordeste Transmontano Português, inserida no Parque Natural de Montesinho. Procura-se assim, enaltecer as características e técnicas construtivas deste tipo de arquitectura vernacular, procurando contribuir para a salvaguarda das mesmas e por meio da proposta de projecto, a criação de espaços destinados a Turismo de habitação e de Albergue, espaços que visam dinamizar e melhorar a qualidade de acolhimento a todos aqueles que procuram pelas mais variadas razoes visitar a aldeia de Quintanilha.
It is understood that the natural and rich Portuguese landscape of massive mountainous Tramontane and valuable cultural elements of human communities that are established there, justify that the actions to safeguard the heritage and the socio-cultural activities of the population will bi urgently initiated. the main problematic issue of this dissertation is the rehabilitation of buildings in Schist Stone in the Rural area of the northeastern Tramontane of Portugal, intending thus to produce matter that is capable to bring the improvement in the construction processes and rehabilitation of these areas, whose condition is in most cases, a matter quite concerning, and all because of its poor state of repair or the bad rehabilitation interventions it undergone. Being the autor of these dissertation and also being native from the city of Bragança and with strong bonds to the Village of Quintanilha, it became as the focus of major concern to choose a project theme that is identified with itself and with its roots, and simultaneously serving as an example for future interventions by others in cases of rehabilitation in shale villages in Portugal. therefore and for the purpose of study an project management, the village of Quintanilha located on the council of Bragança was chosen, Northeast Tramontane Portuguese, inserted in the Natural Park of Montesinho. Thus looking to extol the construction features and techniques of this type of vernacular architecture, seeking to contribute to the protection thereof and though the project proposal, create spaces for Tourism housing an Hostel, spaces that aim to streamline and improve the quality of hosting to all those looking for a variety of reasons to visit the village of Quintanilha.

After studying many comprehensive surveys in nowadays researches about the building construction of the Hakka Traditional Dwellings. Most of them included too many aspect that lead to many of the construction types and the construction methods can’t not be discussed particularly. General speaking, the difference between the building construction types and the building material that can be seen in the different area or even a village which makes them being more important to be studied. Ciandui, at the spring belt of the apex of an alluvial fan that formed at the Ailio River in the Pingtung Plains, has not only various interaction of ethnic phenomenon but also the environment which are suit for agriculture development. Besides, it provides abundant material and resources that were used for the building construction which you can see at the traditional dwelling that was built at the different era with this developing condition. In the following, I will make this study be primary concerned with Ciandui area by using Document method, Interview method, and Field research to make the documentary and the interview from the local resident an arrangement. Let’s start from three topics: the past history of the migrating patterns of Hakka, the regional space development, and the regionally natural environment to do analyzing and statement by narrowing down the area, analyzing the development of the building construction types in Liudui, and discussing the construction material, construction methods, and construction procedure of the traditional dwelling conˇco vugˋ(穿鑿屋) and tuˋzonˇvugˋ(土磚屋). By doing the Field research and gathering the interview from the residents and artisans, we can do a recording in detail and doing analyzing to compare it. By discussing the construction material, construction type and the interaction of the local environment that we can understand its vernacular traits and gathering the vernacular material, construction element, constructer structure so that we can apply it on modern design, therefore we can bring up the discourse of vernacular conception for Conˇco vugˋ(穿鑿屋) , Tuˋzonˇvugˋ(土磚屋). By doing the comprehensive analyzing which I’ve referred before, we can realize the life of Hakka ethnic in Liudui in the past and the original cultural element in the architectures. This report can be used as reference at the building rehabilitation in the future. In addition, by compare with the epoch meaning and the construction element of this two research objects, it inspires more possibilities on modern design of architectures. In the analysis of architecture structure, I’ll take 9 conˇco vugˋ(穿鑿屋) and 10 tuˋzonˇvugˋ(土磚屋)as the research objections. By analyzing the information and the documents from the field research and the interview of the residents and the artisans, we can have a discourse of the architecture structure procedure to making sure the relationship of conˇco vugˋˋ(穿鑿屋) and tuˋzonˇvugˋ(土磚屋) in Ciandui. Furthermore, I found that the spatial composition of a traditional dwelling maybe influenced by the regional temperature and humidity. Therefore, the Hakka traditional dwelling in Liudui has a unique structure and spatial composition. Besides, although there are little difference between the construction method and the building type of the architecture in the study area, the building type are not the same. The building type was influenced by the different conditions, like soil or environment, and by using the different element in the building construction which formed the unique vernacular building feature. The original culture feature of the Hakka ethnic in Liudui can be easily observed from the evolvement of the building style and space arrangement.With the room that be add into the space arrangement for worship, the evolvement from “liauˇ”(藔) to “vugˋ”(屋) and the expending of a ”vangˇ vugˋ”(橫屋) can present the formation of the original building “Wei Long Wu”. In addition, the method of constructing twin ridge beams and the Fungshui facility ”ban ngiad ciiˇ”(半月池) and “fa toiˊ”(化胎) would be simplified, reduced its scale or even replaced by other facilities to express how does the Hakka ethnic in Liudui feel to the original culture. conˇco vugˋ(穿鑿屋) and tuˋzonˇvugˋ(土磚屋), the study object, were the most prevalent building style for the Hakka emigrant who would choose to build in early days. They witnessed the society change of Liudui organization from the beginning of its organized to the days after it disintegrated. The architecture style and construction methods have difference according from how their owner can afford which has its epoch significance. This study found out that there are many construction materials, construction components, and construction types can be used for environment-regulation and sustained development in the analysis of the effect of vernacular conception toward the local resource and the physical environment. What we need in nowadays society is to get rid of the stereotype of the traditional construction material are not easy to use and drop behind the generation. After making an adjustment and go with a proper designing plan, it can not only meet the conception of the sustainable architecture, but reducing the impact to the environment to raise the micro-climate regulation of architecture itself, and improve the quality of housing.
