40M 2 TRÆHUS MINIMALBOLIG

40M 2 TRÆHUS

Jeg finder en vis fascination i at opleve og beskue naturen fra nye vinkler. Vinkler som normalt er forbeholdt andre dyr end mennesket.

Træhuset er en typologi som normalt kun bliver benyttet af børn. Den oplevelse og stemning et træhus giver er noget ret unikt. Følelsen af at kravle op og træde ind i et hemmeligt univers som eksisterer i kraft af et træs fantastiske bæreevne giver både træhuset og træet en sjælelig eksistens og forbundethed. Træet bliver bosat og træhuset bliver en forlængelse af træet selv. Tilsammen udgør de mere end deres seperate dele.

Typologien er her blevet opskaleret til en beboelig størrelse og er ikke båret oppe af et træ, men støtter sig selv og omfavner træet således at kærnen af huset orien-

terer sig mod træstammen og bibeholder den tætte relation som der opstår mellem et træhus og dets træ.

Hvert rum i huset adskiller sig fra det foregående med et 50 centimeters spring for at skabe en stærkere rummelig opdeling og giver et indtryk af at træhuset er fire små træhuse som står meget tæt sammen.

Benene som huset står på orienterer sig ind mod træet og de fire rum syntes udefra af orientere sig i hver deres retning.

BY-NATURCENTER NORDHAVNSTIPPEN

BY-NATURCENTER

I de seneste år har dette begrænsede naturområde på Nordhavn oplevet en vækst og tilkomst i dyrearter. To svanepar yngler, og mange andre fugle, som ellers ikke kan ses i københavn-området, kan findes herude.

MØDET MELLEM BY OG NATUR

By-naturcentret afspejler og formidler mødet mellem by og natur - det menneskeskabte og det naturskabte, men også det der eksisterer midt imellem: den menneskeskabte natur. De forskellige elementer i byngningerne fortolker dette møde med brugen af naturmaterialer i deres rå form. Stråtækt omfavner bygningerne som bæres af en solid trækonstruktion mens selve udformningen præges af skarpe kanter og lige flader. De tre nedslag fortolker naturen og det menneskeskabte mens tidens tand og naturens uundgåelige tilkomst langsomt vil ændre udseendet af de geometriske og veltrimmede geometriske stråtæktsfacader.

EN BEVÆGENDE OPLEVELSE

Mellem de tre huse snor sig to hævede gangbroer som forbinder deres programmer til hinanden i en kurateret bevægelse henover søen, ud til kyststien og ind imellem træer for at ende oppe på den lille bakke. Besøget er en vekselvirkning mellem den formidling som foregår inde i husene og de indtryk der opleves udenfor som man bevæger sig fra det ene hus til det næste.

0-FOOTPRINT SVÆVENDE TRÆHYTTE

EN TILPASNINGSDYGTIG TYPOLOGI

Konstruktionsprincippet afhænger af en stærk og nogenlunde ret stamme uden for mange grene de første 12-15 meter. Bøgeskov er derfor det perfekte område for sådan en hytte.

Selve hytten bliver holdt oppe ad klemmen omkring træet som sidder under tagkonstruktionen. Klemmen er justérbar ad x- og y-aksen således at der kan kompenseres for træets skævhed.

Et træskelet hæfter sig på klemmen i syv arme som samles af den syvkantede platform. Den inderste del af platformen bliver støttet af wires.

MANGE TYPOLOGIER, ÉT PRINCIP

Den simple og syv-symmetriske konstruktion giver frihed til at placere forskellige rummeligheder på forskellige måder på platformen, så der kan skabes forskellige programmer. Den kan derfor fungere som et et- to- eller treværelsesophold med et mindre køkken og enten to soveværelser eller et standard soveværelse og et børneværelse med køjeseng.

Ideen er at skabe en rummelighed i træet som kan agere tilflugtssted for travlheden i dagligdagen. Som et mindre sommerhus til privat brug, som et nordisk retreat-ophold, eller som campinghytter. Platformen og de mange forskellige planløsninger tillader alle mulige slags programmer.

DESIGNED FOR DISASSEMBLY

Konstruktionen, materialerne og samlingerne er udført så det hele kan skilles ad og sorteres nemt. Hytten kan samles igen et nyt sted, eller materialerne kan genbruges til andre projekter. Klemmen omkring træet er netop tænkt ind som noget der ikke skader træet , så træet kan overleve hytten, og hvis træet dør eller på andre måder gør hytten usikker at opholde sig i, kan hytten installeres i et nyt træ.

EN DOBBELT TAGKONSTRUKTION

Det translucente tag i polykarbonat samler og spreder det sommetider sparsomme lys under trætoppende, til et diffust lys som oplyser platformen og værelserne, i og med at rummene har vinduer som knækker henover sammen med det flade tag og bliver til ovenlys.

PLUG AND PLAY

Elektricitet, vandforsyning og spildevand løber alt sammen under platformen og igennem trappen. Spildevandet kan enten være forbundet til den nærmeste kloak eller løbe ud i en septictank. Hytten har intet fodaftryk og alle rør og ledninger er nemme at fjerne hvis hytterne skal flyttes.

MARITIMT KULTURHUS FREDERIKSØ, SVENDBORG

Inspirationen til bygningens udstillingsrum kom af et studie af de spiraler (eddies) som opstår når et element i bevægelse forskyder vandet. Det skrånende dæk flader ud på det lange led og skråner mere på det korte og efterligner fornemmelsen af at stå på et skibsdæk mens bølgerne får gulvet under en til at vippe svagt.

I midten af bygningen skær der sig en seks meter bred “gågade” som er frit tilgængelig for offentligheden og tillader et smugkig ind til den spiralerende udstillingpå højre hånd og det store skibsværksted på venstre hånd.

Skibsværkstedet er et dobbeltøjt rum med faciliteter til reparation, vedligeholdelse og byggeri af mellemstore sejlbåde. En otte meter bred port i tre etagers højde åbner op ud til kajen på nordsiden af

huset. Over værkstedet ligger to etagers magasin; et med 3,5 meter til loft og et med 7,5 meter til loftet.

Ovenlys løber på langs af bygningen i hver af de tre hovedinddelinger og er med til at belyse værkstedet, gågaden og udstillingen i et kraftigt naturligt lys.

Tre kontorer ligger i forlængelse af magasinet på 3. sal og har udsigt ud til den sydlige del af Svendborg havn. I den anden side af bygningen forlænges udstillingen med en café på 1. og 2. sal med udeservering på den sydlige side af den store sokkel.

Det maritime kulturhus er en transformation af et skibsværft som fungerer som lystbådemuseum i skrivende stund. Programmet udvides til at indeholde en udstillingsdel som fortæller hele den lange maritime historie fra Svendborg; fra de gamle unikke store træskibe som blev bygget i Svendborg og på Ærø til de store fragtskibe som er blevet bygget i industritiden til det store lystbådefællesskab som har pustet nyt liv i Svendborgs lange maritime historie.

Den oprindelige stålkonstruktion bevares i husets skelet og danner grundlag for facadens og ruminddelingernes takt. En limtræstkonstruktion ligger sig ind imellem stålet for at kunne bære den ekstra vægt fra de indskudte etagedæ. Hele huset omkranses af en høj sokkel som udføres i røde genbrugssten og beskytter bygningen i tilfælde af stormflod og havstign-

ing. De store trappeafsatser og balkoner som skærer sig ud af soklen og skaber et uderum og relaterer sig til havnerummet udenfor bygningen. Noget som den oprindelige bygning ikke gør.

Spiraldækket i udstillingen skifter materiale som man bevæger sig op igennem den omvendt kronologiske fortalte maritime historie fra Svendborgs tid med skibsværfter der byggede store egetræsskibe til den danske marine, overgangen til de endnu større fragtskibe i stål og til sidst overgangen fra en industrihavn til en kulturhavn med fokus på lystbåde og konkurrencesejlads.

STATISTICS ON WATER RESOURCES IN MOROCCO

CHALLENGES

As a part of this research phase, Morocco’s main problematics were heavily researched to understand what affected the present political climate. It immediately became obvious to me that water resources and water scarcity is a problematic that Morocco will be faced with in the nearest future.

WATER SCARCITY

Water resources in Morocco have been steadily declining the past decades as the agricultural sector continues to be the main user. Agriculture is an important contributor to the Moroccan GDP and makes up more than 12 percent of the annual revenue.

The water deficit leads to further overexploitation of groundwater in some areas.

A globally estimated 40 percent of water used for irrigation is lost through evaporation, run off and leakage.

IRRIGATION AGRICULTURE

Irrigation efficiency is a heavily researched subject, and many technologies are being developed and implemented throughout the world and in Morocco as well. While this is of course very positive, new research show that increasing efficiency alone does not significantly decrease the pressure on water resources and instead leads to an increase in production while water usage remains constant. An increase in efficiency combined with stricter accounting, measurements and extraction caps could be a more sustainable solution where every actor yield benefits.

Moroccans have no access to safe drinking water

A global estimate of 40% of water used for irrigation is lost through evaporation and runoff. 40%

The decline in renewable water resources per capita per year

THE PROTOTYPE

The idea was to create a hydroponics system that could be set up almost anywhere on a piece of architecture. It is a modular eight-element prototype that can flex around a column, sit against a facade or be hung up on a fence. The design has no limit to how many elements can be added to the system, only the pump needs regulation of water-flow to adjust for the amount of elements.

THE CIRCULATION SYSTEM

It works by pumping nutrient water from a container through the rubber tubes, to the top of each element. In the top a shower head sprinkles the water down unto the roots of each plant. The plants are potted in a 45 degree angle with the roots being held on the inside by a perforated pot. The water is collected in the bottom and lead back to the container.

PLANTS OF RAIN

The Logo is written in Darija (Moroccan Arabic) calligraphy and translates to: Plants of Rain. The word for plant resembles small sprouts while the word for rain encircles the ‘plants’ and resembles water waves.

The diamond pattern holds significance in Moroccan and Amazigh Arts and Crafts

Engaging with the local community is the most vulnerable and crucial part of the fieldwork. How the locals react to the prototype ultimately decides whether the prototype is a success or a failure. No matter how successful it might be in the data and testing, if the community cannot recognize its potential or if it doesn’t fulfill an actual need, the prototype has no future potential. Designing something that hasn’t been done before to fit into a culture with customs and norms alien to one’s own is the ultimate challenge of one’s ability to understand a context. In the case of this fieldwork, the locals with whom I spent most of my time with during

the month-long stay, were very curious and keen to understand the workings of the device. Many of the adults expressed an interest in creating a similar device for themselves and i provided knowledge of which materials they could use in a DIY setup. However when it came to using this method as a way to save water due to the looming water crisis in Morocco, they found the intent noble, but through my own observations and discussions I found that there was little interest or knowledge of the water scarcity or the fact that agriculture is the main driver behind this. The scarcity is not as present in Marrakesh as it is in more rural areas.

VERTIKAL FARM & BOLIGBYGGERI MARRAKESH, MAROKKO

THE AQUIFERS AND RIVERS

As a consequence of the already lowered waterlevels in the aquifers - the rivers running from the Atlas mountains run dry more often and at much earlier stages of the river. The Oued Issil River depicted here is dry most of the season and only runs past the city in periods of heavy snow- or rainfall.

The river lies dry most of the year and access to the site can be accomplished by crossing the riverbed. The other more official access option would be to cross a bridge north of the gate and walk along the riverbank on the dump site.

SITE LOCATION

The site is less than 2 kilometres from the main Square, Jemaa El Fnaa and the shortest path takes about 20 minutes by foot. The site is directly opposite of one of the 15 city gates, Bab Aïlan. Access to the site is obstructed by the busy road, Route des Remparts and the wide river.

LIFE ON THE DUMP SITE

Many different activities are happening around the dump site. At first glance it seems to be largely empty and devoid of life. This is far from the case. Some people have settled here in various locations. Stray dogs roam the site and domesticated horses and sheep live here next to the few settlements. Various kinds of waste end up here and provide a food source to the domesticated animals as well as the stray dogs and various birds. A ruin is found on the dump site and acts as a physical demarcation.

3RD-5TH FLOOR

The upper levels combine into one large undulating roof of connected decks that provide space for social interactions and free movement, but mainly acts as a rooftop urban farm divided into sections of smaller farms producing different herbs, lettuces and fruit somtimes taking up two stories.

2ND FLOOR

The second floor is left empty as a piece of framing meant to be filled out and built up by the dwellers as they move in. Each household is allowed to expand vertically until they meet the rooftop which on the 3rd 4th or 5th floor

1ST FLOOR

The ground floor consists of a series of courtyards that are connected to the main streets by a corridor and act as private spaces for the dwellers who live within the apartments surrounding the courtyard. Each courtyard is shared between 7-9 households.

PASSIVE COOLING & THE GREEN MEMBRANE:

An important aspect of the courtyard house is its passive cooling effect. During the night cool air accumulates in the courtyard and the adjacent rooms. The high thermal mass of rammed earth aids in the structure’s ability to keep cool as it slowly exchanges temperature with the air until thermal equilibrium is reached. As the sun strikes the floor of the courtyard the air warms up and rises creating a decrease in pressure in the courtyard. The fall in pressure will drag out air from the adjacent rooms, creating an air flow inside the dwellings that aids in indoor comfort.

The thick walls keep out the hot ambient temperature during the day and releases the accumulated heat during the night. The time delay can be up to twelve hours. Two to three external walls of the court-

yard structure are party wallsso no direct sunlight hits these walls. During late afternoon most of the structure has accumulated heat that will now slowly be released during the rest of the night as the complex cools and a new cycle begins.

FLORA, FAUNA AND NATURAL RESOURCES

Indonesia, southeast Asia country, with the tropical climate and comprise with around 18000 islands, it is the nation that contain the world second largest biodiversity. Due to the distribution of the Indonesia Archipelago, Indonesia, this country located between two continents, Asia and Oceania. This explains the wide biodiversity of Indonesia from east to west. There are mainly two biodiversity regions and one special region in Indonesia: Wallacea, Sundaland and Papua. The wallacea is the middle zone between two diverse regions while the Sundaland mainly influenced by Asia.

it is restricted to the island of timor Bambusa glaucophylla

Very dense clumping bamboo native to Java Bambu Tutul

Grown on mild land, and it has a high resistance to cold

Use: Making strong structures to prevent landslides and absorb water when installed around watersheds (DAS) during floods. Resistant to soil moisture as well as a warning system if there is an overload of the tunnel soil it supports

Mangrove

The total area in Java is about 50,000 ha Indonesia has the largest mangrove area in the world, around 3.31 million hectares.

At 2009, reported that mangrove vegetated area in Indonesia is amounted to 3.2 million hectare. at 2007, that potential area to be planted by mangrove is estimated at 7.8 million hectares.

Java, which has lost 78% of its natural barrier, mangroves.

Use: Without mangroves the annual flood impacts to people and property would increase by around 25%

Mangroves that absorbed the ferocity of storms and prevented erosion by the waves.

Popular with its blue carbon, able to sequester carbon more than tropical plantations.

Preventing erosion and sea water intrusion. Hold access of water from flooding areas behind them by slowly restoring the flooded areas

Palm and Coconut Nypa Fruticans (Nipa Palm), could find mainly in Borneo, Java and Maluku. The nipa palm produces a very high yield of sugar-rich sap. Fermented into ethanol or butanol, the sap may allow the production of 6480–20,000 liters per hectare per year of fuel.

Palms are extremely valuable source of secondary building materials. Trunk used in house frame and leaves are second only to the alang alang grass. Sugar Palm (Arenga Pinnata), Black fibre hangs onto the trunk in tough, fibrous and highly resistant sheath which is an important building material.

Coconut tree (Cocos Nucifera)

Coconut wood for houseposts and rafters, Cords made from coirs from husk and could be use as lashing in construction. Coconut coir can also be used for crafts, fuel, organic fertilizer, charcoal briquettes, water filter.

Every year humans convert 10 millions hecares of land which is equivalent to the size of Portugal.

We are set to double the global footprint of our urban environments by 2060 and the vast majority of this accelerating expansion will take place in the largest growing economies and populations.

Human activites are causing species to go extinct at a rate about 1000 times higher than it would be under normal circumstances. This crisis of biodiversity will become the 6th mass extinction in the history of life on earth if it continues at this rate.

The tropical forests of Indonesia are home to an incredible amount of the world’s species of which about a third are endemic.

Jakarta, the Capital of Indonesia face increasingly devastating seasonal floods and sea level rise combined with rapid subsidence cause urban areas in the North to sink into the sea.

Floods are by far the natural disaster that causes the most internal dispacements every year in Indonesia.

The city is sinking into the sea as a consequence of the overextraction of ground water that can no longer be replenished due to the surface of conrete and paving that covers the ever-expanding urban area. Coupled with widespread pollution in the 13 rivers that run through Jakarta and floodings that become more frequent and intense as the city keeps expanding, the city is forced to find new solutions for dealing with seasonal floods and heavy rainfall making Jakarta more and more unliveable.

Rainwater is a resource that is often neglected - little to no processing is needed to turn rainwater into clean drinking water - yet more often than not it is led directly into the sewer system and from there to the sea.

Rather than displacing rainwater through the use of gutters, sewers and canals, where it eventually accumulates and runs out into the sea, could it be possible to deal with rainwater on the micro-local scale?

The prototype absorbs and evaporates rainwater through the use of highly absorbing textiles and climate-resilient plants on the micro-local scale of 1 square meter, taking advantage of the increased surface area provided by the urban building structures and infrastructure.

The rapid expansion of the city replaces the natural areas with impermeable concrete and asphalt resulting in a rapid accumulation of rainwater in the rivers and canals during a downpour. The water is no longer being absorbed, but instead accelerates downstream causing major floods to happen much more frequently.

Uncontrolled pumping of groundwater for industrial and domestic uses empties out the aquifers underneath faster than they can be replenished by the natural water cycle due to the natural ground layer being replaced by impermeable surfaces. This causes the aquifers to slowly collapse and the city now sinks at an average rate of 10 centimeters every year.

This prototype is an attempt at solving these issues through first analyzing what causes the worsening of floods and sub-

sidence in Jakarta and proposing a new strategy of dealing with water.

The prototype was measured to hold 7,5 liters of water after a major downpour.

The implementation is non-destructive to the existing buildings, use cheap and accessible materials, provides other benefits such as filtering the water and the air for pollutants, can help to increase the biodiversity in the urban environment and provides and aesthetic benefit as well.

URBAN ARBOREALISM

BOGOR, VEST JAVA, INDONESIEN

THE GREEN HEART OF BOGOR

This architectural program is situated in the heart of the city of Bogor, unofficially dubbed the botany capital of Indonesia due to the many institutions that revolve around that field of research.

To develop my architecture in a context that made sense for my goals of combining the natural and urban environment, I wanted to find an area densely populated with trees in the urban context. along the riverbank to exemplify how it also deals with floods.

Finding a green patch on the riverbank isn’t easy once you exclude the botanical garden. This site is an incredible sanctuary of greenery in the most central part of a desely populated city and it functions partly as a garbage dump.

The waste management is a big part of the many different micro economies that support the less affluent urban population.

BOGOR BOTANICAL GARDEN

The building programme explores the possibilities of the urban environment’s reintroduction into the ecosystem on several fronts:

THE RESEARCH FACILITY

A research department run by the local community and relying on data gathered by Bogor’s inhabitants, will research the state of flora and fauna biodiversity in the urban context. A completely neglected area of study as it is today.

AN EDUCATIONAL PLATFORM

An exhibition space will convey the research and host exhibitions regarding biodiversity and wildlife in Indonesia

Through talks with the ecological scientist and director of the Eagle Reservation at Halimun Salak National Park, Ninda Darisa, she stressed how education plays a crucial role in the biodiversity crisis and therefore it is also a crucial function to house for any type of community

that is drawn to this place as a way binding together tourists, locals, affluent and non-affluent visitors.

THE ARBOREAL WORKSHOP

A building workshop will test and explore different building methods for earthquake-proof housing as well as biological architecture.

THE “WASTE EATER”

The waste sorting and recycling is a source of income for many of the residents in the area and is the only waste site within bogor city so integrating it as part of the programme was the only sensible thing to do.

Joining the conventional types of waste sorting are two low-tech laboratories that test what types of biology can break down plastic.

And then lifting the functions off the ground as a way of supporting the biology at ground level.

A TROPICAL DISCREPANCY

The tropical forests of Indonesia are home to an incredible amount of the world’s species of which about a third are endemic to the country.

AN ARBOREAL ADAPTATION

An Arboreal architecture and infrastructure that inserts itself in the ecosystem as a species among the millions of others.

EMPLOYING NATURE

The typology and architectural language functions not only as a building typology, but also an infrastructural one - with the two realms blending seamlessly together.

Jakarta, the Capital city, is sinking into the sea due to overextraction of ground water that can no longer be replenished due to an urban surface of concrete and paving.

Each sub-formation will take up no more space than that of a tree and be lifted to a height that allows sunlight to reach the undergrowth under the structure.

The Arboreal structures will be able to solve the issues of flooding locally, simply by being raised off the ground, but also avoid excascerbating the problem by having minimal footprint.
