Our idea is to develop an information tool to be used by the general population, local and international technicians and researchers. Our idea of self construction is not only to reduce the construction costs by allowing citizen to construct their own houses. We also see self construction it is a integrated platform to access and provide information to the general population and to researchers. The platform will permit us to define a coherent development of urbanity. Google Earth application as a design tool. The project is based on a Google Earth platform. Each user can obtain a customized design for their own house configured to their land properties. By using the Google Adaptable and Downloadable House application, users will

Specialized models can be downloaded and plotted as a list of hexagonal units (number and length). The goal of this method is also to have a record of the “downloaded models”. Such a tracking device will be extremely useful for the administrators in terms of recording the development in different areas. The Google Earth interface as a tool for the local and international research community. By creating a Google Earth Platform permitting the administrators to collect and to access information easily, it will be possible to create a collaborative network of local and international researchers, architects, and technicians.

EMERGENCY 1: In the last fifteen year we have assisted to the emergency of advanced digital tools, permitting us to enhance new forms of design embedding evolutionary parametric techniques and computer numeric control fabrication processes. Such a technology has allowed architects to explore new type of spaces, and the production of new fabrication systems and assembly techniques. Nevertheless the extreme amount of the intelligence ‘..the high degree of sophistication..’ of the design tools, of the construction processes and of the machinery employed, as opposed to the limited accessibility and transportability of the material used, severely limits the use of these new design techniques. In this way the optimism in terms of freedom and democratic accessibility which is embedded in the fluidity between design and construction, means that results have been compromised or have been limited to a small portion of the architectural community. EMERGENCY 2: A large proportion of construction on our planet is based on self-construction and spontaneous assemblies. Local materials and resources, low cost production systems, recycled materials are embedded in such construction processes. Conditions derive from a natural necessity in terms of optimization of available resources and local skills. In self-construction practice, often program technologies and assembly types relate to the nature of the materials available, and emphasize a formality derived from material behaviors (mud, plastic bottles, mud bricks, corrugated metal). Such local expertise permits builders to develop forms and finishing that would be very expensive to obtain using standard or highly technological design procedures. On the other hand, self-construction processes developed in the complete absence of planning, leads to risk filled situations (construction in dangerous areas; absence of a proper illumination and aeration; potential destruction of entire villages (e.g. Ischia Italy)).

The device will be developed as an open data collecting tool based on a “Wikipedia like” evolutionary device permitting contributors to correct the information on the basis of their experience in the field. The use of portable devices such as hi phones and small computers will markedly decrease the cost of the tools required to realize every infrastructural tool.
On sit tracing kit
• To define very simple tracing and construction technique. To provide tracing kit responding to the solution displayed by the platform. • We will explore a new design by connecting the power of advanced digital tools with local construction techniques. We will collaborate with “Architects Without Frontiers” in the exploration of new techniques and make formal proposals deriving from the union of the two cultures. We will collaborate with Plastitaly and Helvetas in the development of onsite prototypes involving local manufacturers and using local resources. • We will collaborate to create highly sustainable and innovative design proposals. • We will simplify the accessibility of the information by using a ushaidi platform interacting with Google Earth application. Elaborated and complex content will be extremely accessible. • We wil develop simple tools. The problem of self construction is not only limited to the possibility/capacity to assemble the components together. The problem is also to translate information suche graphic drawing in design input that can be constructed. The idea of the hexagon is to simplify tracing techniques. We propose an easy tracing tool that can be sold for few cents in grocery stores and supermarket. It could be sold 5 types of foldable hexagons perimeters permitting to quickly assemble the plan of the house in the land.
