VERNACULAR PRECEDENCE 2: SIWA MUD HOUSES
STRUCTURAL COMPOSITION PARTITION WALL
CEILING CONSTRUCTION
Kershef bricks with mortar Extra mortar from Kershef brick joining
WALL CONSTRUCTION
STRUCTURAL WALL Kershef Brick bounded with mortar Wall tapered from base (Base up to 2m thick)
Perpendicular palm/ Kershef brick Palm Trunk Beams
Palm trunk joins outer layer with inner layer Smaller aggragate made of similar material but with different composition
ORDER OF DECAY 1
2
Ceiling is the first to have highest considerable deformation. Space is changed from indoor to outdoor
4
Structural walls are still able to sustain load but tapers as outer facing layers erode
3
Partition walls then erode next as it has less surface area exposed to direct weathering
ART PRECEDENCE: 161 BY LEONARDO DREW
DISRUPTED CIRCULATION
The debris alters the typical circulatory route around the art piece. It carves a distance between the visitor and the installation, serving as an invisible boundary between the two.

THE STRATEGY
Spaces are curated as individual cubicles
As horizontal walls erode, the spaces now become a gallery
When vertical walls erode, the space now becomes very open and porous

ROOF SYSTEMS
Creating contours on the roof to channel water flow
Varying material composition allows for change in erosion rates
Changing the thickness of certain regions to manipulate erosion
Reinforced bars within material to hold roof together even when eroded

2nd level roof erodes first
4
The eroded 2nd level roof will allow the interior walls on the 2nd level to erode
3
Finally, the interior walls of level 1 erode away
After the 2nd level erodes, it enables the 1st level roof to begin its erosion
