S.E.R. (sustainable evolutive residence)
The project starts from the thought of what the
human being life cycle is, and the neef of resolving the subject
housing/shelter in a global way.
This
house has been thought to serve a great number of users, since the
possibility to build it based on a simple family structure and making
it evolve to self-construction.
Quality
of the inhabitable space, eco(nomic) and resistant materials, solar
orientation study, natural air circulation, use of rain water, all
these items are priority themes for each climate and latitude.
The
house engine is the only irregular volume, and it contains the kitchen
and the bathrooms. This volume is the organizer of the house structure,
and it as the following tasks: distribute energy and hot water, collect
the rain water, and coordenate the natural air stream through the
chimney effect.
The
accessory volumes (rooms and living rooms) arrange itself alternatly
creating patios, in a way to get better solar exposition and take
advantage of passive irradiation.
The
constructice system must be simple and fit into a container: in order
to be carried to all the different places; to expand an existing SER
construction; to carry the house into a different location; to
dismantle the house, recycling all its components.
