Travel with icing sugar.

If asked if you can go to China with a concrete block and paraffin, to wander in a square in Moscow -15 ° with icing sugar, or to hear the waves on a beach with a single sheet of paper, answer yes. It just demonstrated that the third-year students in design space.

The proposed subject during the course of the model was belvedere.


Unlike a typical project where one part of the environmental analysis to arrive at a finite space by integrating technical constraints (I'm short ...), the students began by implementing a technical principle, the overhang on a viewing free of any context. The challenge was proposed to achieve a maximum range on a cardboard construction, composed of parts tangram, All without bonding.

After a job analysis and composition, they were asked to imagine the world that went with it. A large mock-up work and experiments on the matter led to transcribe very different worlds through the writings of personal and sensitive.

Water, a way to live differently

Water, a way to live differently

Today, man is more concerned about the environment that surrounds it, the trend is towards the ecology and habitat changes. We see the emergence of new practices, we look for atypical stays away from towns and connection with nature. Grow while the tree houses,Hotels in water or theigloo hotels are. Unfortunately this type of habitat is usually reserved for short stays and not to live every day. It lacks the comfort and luxury expected to live there throughout the year. To overcome these shortcomings, we would have successfully implanted an ordinary house in an unusual environment. Does this exist? Of course yes, and habitat on the water is proof. Barge, houses on stilts or floating, numerous solutions exist if it knows a little.

To give you the means to realize your dreams on the water and answer any questions you have, we have grouped some information in this article that could be helpful. We begin with the reasons that lead us to live on the water, the different types of habitats that can be found as well as standards, legislation and construction techniques associated with it. We will also see how it is possible to feed energy when living on the water and finally we discuss the dreams of architects on the water between the project and utopia.

Water is the source of all life is an element that must be preserved. Man needs it to live and well-being, to grow plants, fish to breathe ... The water will influence the lifestyle and get a special relationship with humans. Today, water is at the heart of many conversations, whether at the level of pollution, rising sea levels due to global warming or the reduction of freshwater sources. We can also see more and more homes built on the water ranging from small craft to luxury residence. The habitat on the water has become a new way to exploit its environment and resources we offer. But in the end why he wants man to live on water?

Many civilizations lived between land and sea, refusing a sedentary lifestyle and advocating closer to nature. Subsequently the water did not remain a mere source of life but has been used to the thirst for conquest of Man in the seventeenth century. It allowed him to sail beyond the land already explored and to discover new horizons, driven par curiosity and interest in his surroundings. The long journeys have required new development in the craft and have led to new ways of life. The development of towns and maritime trade will also help to spread on the water. Man has always wanted to conquer his environment. The advance of the sea is a current issue, saturated cities, rising sea levels, new challenges ... Cities overloaded minds Robinson or necessity, are all reasons why the man to settle on the water.

Reasons for change

Saturated cities:

Japan - Tokyo - District Shinkuju

Indeed, in major cities lack of space is felt. These include Tokyo or Sao Paulo, cities where every inch must be profitable. Note that Tokyo has a population density of 5950 inhabitants / km ² . After occupying the floor space, these cities are high using the heights of the towers and building. The next step is the construction of water, these cities are investing to extend along their coasts. It will bloom and the artificial islands, houseboats or floating houses.

Climate Risk

it's getting hot!

The habitat on the water can be a solution to decongest the cities but also to protect certain natural hazards: floods repeatedly, landslides, global warming. We can talk about including Tokyo, a city whose soil structure was very fragile over time, causing many landslides and land subsidence. To adapt to these natural conditions, the city has revived the buildings on stilts neglected since the establishment of artificial islands. The problem is that the development of these islands alter the ecosystem in which they are located and have contributed to the weakening of the ribs.

Global warming is part of the major issues of housing on the water. Indeed, the current environmental concerns lead us to think outside our daily lives. Global warming leads to the development of new housing types to address the possible rise in the water and the lack of space.

More than just a home, a lifestyle

Why this tendency to live on the water she attracted more and more people? In a world where environmental concern is of paramount importance, habitat on the water finds its place. It is both a way to relax in reviving the natural elements and a means of finding new solutions cleaner and self sufficient. Living on the water, so it is for some, a return to nature and closer to what we are is vital to escape the modern world. Water is the cradle of life. Today, the company overconsumption chokes and some feel the need to isolate themselves in order to find the essence, the true values ​​of life.

Quality of life, living on the water provides a feeling of freedom is a dream adventure. A journey for the senses but also for the mind. Extend quiet means the soft trickle of water, you can enjoy highlights of this one and we let the current take us. Water is also a gentle swaying sometimes lulls us, calms us and sometimes that is unleashed and fascinates us.

The different types of habitats on the water

Cities on Water: The Case of Venice

Venice

Some cities such as Venice seem to float on water, this type of construction is difficult to implement. Venice rests on a pile of wood. Indeed, the stakes with a length of four feet rooted in the soil until it reaches the foundation layerThis structure supports a wood floor on which the masonry and is used to support the most important buildings. These piles usually larch or oak can number in the thousands for a building only. The Basilica of Santa Maria della Salute is built on 1,156,672 postsThe foundation work lasted two years. Today Venice is slowly eaten away by erosion, sand and groundwater have weakened the foundations of collapse. Renovation works are to be made to keep the city, including one of the solutions is to inject the cement in the piles, making tight the entire surface of the base.

Venice is organized as a city entirely conventional, with its electricity networks, water and telephone, except it is built more but tries to keep.

Drawing piles

Houses on stilts

On the same principle of construction, there are houses on stilts. The house is supported by piles driven into the ground. This process has many advantages because it allows a homogeneous insulation, reduces the cost of foundations, created a permanent ventilation under the house thus avoiding the accumulation of Radon. However it is not always possible to implement these buildings where desired, construction zones on the edge of water or shore are often considered non-buildable land that is the problem of building permit, required for this type of housing. We must therefore refer to the PLU (local development plan) the municipality will take into account the protection against risks implemented, the area of ​​your home, the size ... you issue the building permit.

Floating homes

"The Citadel" by the agency Waterstudio

There are also houseboatsAs those built by the company Batiflo who specialized in the construction of such housing. These are real houses, stable and with all the modern comforts. The goal is that it floats, it is necessary to find the floats. Batiflo then imagined boxes high density polymer. Their main qualities are to be extremely hard, lightweight, maneuverable and with a lifespan of 400 years. Not to drift to the body of water on which they are asked, the floats are built into each other by a fastening system and are then connected to the ground by guide columns. These columns can initially follow the water level, preventing flooding, and secondly, to bring home the necessary amenities such as water, electricity or phone. Some floats have a noticeable difference. Their main purpose is not to fly but they support to deal with wastewater. They include an independent sewage treatment plant, thus rejecting the gray water then transformed and qualified water swimming in the water body which is part of the building. On these floats is poured a concrete slab on which is then built housing. The structure of housing is generally timber frame because of its lightness and its ability to move and work according to the movement of the support.

For this type of housing it is mandatory for a building permit. However, as we are on a body of water, the land is not buildable said. The question then depending on the PLU of each municipality if your building permit will be accepted.

The Boat House

The craft Nantes

If you want more mobility, you install in a house boat. These large houseboats are often visible alongside. Docking is not allowed the city but like any house, you must purchase the land. Here we not buy a piece of land but a simple right to the bank, Defined by the size of your boat. The navigation permit is required when it has a motor and it is therefore possible to move it. Indeed, the first advantage that we find to live on a boat that can carry his "home" in all the trips that are undertaken or for short trips that can be done by following rivers or streams. Since these homes are included in barges, the flotation system is the same as a boat is through buoyancy . The origin of this buoyancy is a force vertically oriented despite the gravity acting on the boat. The thrust is defined by the density of water (salt water and fresh water), the weight of the boat (building materials and furnishings) and thus the volume of water displaced.

Small boats

Nomadic marine Benin - Makeni

Living on the water can be in more than one choice, one requires. Many civilizations lived between sea and land, rejecting the sedentary peoples advocating closer to nature. Even today many people live on the water in boats or facilities precarious.

The Badjos, People of Indonesia called the "sea nomads" living on the water. They roam the sea in their canoes. It's a lifestyle choice rooted in their culture, a desire to escape the earthly world to live on the water, get close to the sea with which they maintain a special bond. All acts of life are conducted on water and they enjoy the benefits of the sea including fishing. Intermediate stops are made for the collection but it is still very restricted diet and has implications for the health of Badjos. It can lead to a reduced and atrophied muscles.

For some, living on the water becomes a necessity, this is how real slums are created on the water. Hundreds of small boats summary as in Benin are emerging. These slums river are the result of insufficient resources to deal with the cost of living on land. These nomadic people move along the coast and enjoy the benefits they are on site, leaving behind a lot of waste. These houses therefore pose the question of pollution, because ultimately these people affect the ecosystem and threaten to destroy resources and committing itself to find a new place to live.

Energy and Water

To live on the water with all the conveniences of today's world, we must be able to connect to the network of the city, or support himself on his own. It is therefore necessary to consider and to know the possible means for heating, have electricity or water supply.

The arrival of the conveniences :

Power supply:

As we have seen, there are different types of habitats on the water, the techniques for receiving energy are not adaptable for all cases. The easiest way is the connection to the city, whether for electricity or for the arrival and discharge of wastewater. It may be easy for the cities on the water, houses on stilts, floating or lying under water in a town in marinas and boat house while docked. For electricity, simply plug into the electricity meter at your disposal by drawing lines to your home. Water is a bit more complicated. The public network ignores you most often in terms of supply. It is therefore necessary to have a large reservoir that must be met in a regular public refueling point. If the connection is not possible, it will be able to have autonomy in the functioning of the house by creating its own energy and treating the water to use it and reject it. We will treat this part according to the different natural resources at our disposal, starting with the sun, wind, water and ending with the air.

Solar Energy

The sun's radiation can serve two purposes:

- In the first case, the installation of solar panels in places where there is strong sunlight, the light transforms into heat, usually for water heaters. For this, the sun's rays pass through a glass plate black and heats an absorber due to the greenhouse effect. Conduction, the heat from the absorber is transferred to a closed water circuit which is then routed to the ball using a pump or by gravity. This in turn transmits the heat energy accumulated in the hot water present in the water heater. When the sun is not enough to bring water to proper temperature, the water heater connected to an auxiliary boiler takes over. But this only works if there is insufficient energy panel.

- In the second case, by installing solar panels at the locations where there is strong sunlight, it can transform light into electricity. When the photovoltaic cell is exposed to light, it receives light energy that will allow the flow of electrons between the layers of silicon, thus causing the flow of electrical current. The current product and not used immediately can be stored in batteries for use at night or when demand exceeds production. If we want to use it directly, it will build an inverter to convert DC current, AC.

Wind energy:

Wind can also be used through a device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. This device is a wind turbine. Its operating principle is the same as that of a bicycle dynamo. The rotation of the propeller operates a generator that will induce an electrical current that can be used directly. If we want to store the energy in a battery, it will build a rectifier to convert alternating current into direct current. The establishment of a wind system is costly and can not be used continuously. Sometimes the wind is not strong enough or just too far, it is necessary to provide a backup system that also has a significant cost. Installing a wind system therefore requires a true reflection.

Hydropower

Water can also create energy on the same principle as the turbine. The propellers are replaced by a system of turbines operating current of a river or a river. The mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy.

Ventilation

How a heat pump

Finally, we have air. This element stands for ventilation and room temperature (external or internal). For example, adding a heat pump outside the house, it allows indoor air to warm up naturally. Indeed, one can say that the heat pump takes some heat from outside air increases its temperature level thanks to a system pressure increase, then returns a higher heat in your home. However, to operate the compressor of the heat pump must be driven by an electric motor. Electricity use, however, is well used since for 1 kWh consumed, the house receives the equivalent of 3 to 4 kWh of heat! Another way to break down his house while maintaining the heat it contains is to install a dual-flow VMC. This system allows you to limit heat losses inherent in the breakdown: it recovers heat from stale air extracted from the house and uses it to heat the fresh air filtered from outside through a fan and a heat exchanger. A second fan pumps this new air preheated in the main rooms through vents breaths.

Rejection of amenities:

Electricity, unless not being fully used is stored in batteries, it preserves, we do not throw. However wastewater will not be retained. To get rid of, there are several techniques. When connected as possible, two options exist depending on where you are. Is a sewage is present in your home where you can connect. Either the network is too far away and a buffer tank is set up to your level. In this case, habitat rejects sewage in the tank which is then pumped through lift pumps or vacuum trucks through. It is recommended to set up a mill that will allow a pre-treatment of waste water and then a better flow in pipes of small diameter to facilitate the operation.

If the connection is not possible, there is a solution of the same type as the previous one, you can have yourself a storage tank. It will be your responsibility to make it flush when it is full. Another system, certainly more expensive but allows you more autonomy is the individual treatment plant. It has several operating principles such as forced oxygenation (activated sludge). The treated water can be recovered and used again for irrigation and then released directly into the natural environment (lake, pond, river ...) according to EN 12566-3.

Phytopurification, pond system

Finally, the last system even more ecological and natural but requires a much greater surface: phyto-purification. It uses the natural purification ability of aquatic plants and their environment to clean water. The principle is simple. The waste water will initially be ground. Then discharged into a series of basins made of stone and vegetation. This vegetation serves to support bacterial colonies (aerobic bacteria) that convert organic waste water in minerals, which eventually absorbed by plants. In return, the plants supply the bacteria with oxygen through their roots. They also assimilate nitrate and phosphate as well as some water pollutants and use them as "fertilizer". The water recovered in the different lagoons is then reused for watering or reinstated in her natural environment. Not yet approved by regulators and French GAAP, the lagoon is one of the individual alternative wastewater systems. So he took advantage of a loophole. Before setting up the treatment system, it is essential to talk to the municipality and to request a waiver.

Many techniques are possible and adaptable depending on where you want to implement. The goal is to have a passive house to meet his self-needs, this is essential when you are moving away from a city, away from everything or you live in a mobile home as the house boat .

Dreams of water: between utopia and reality

Ile AZ (Alstom and Zoppini)

Many architects have addressed the issue of housing and life on the water. These include Jean Philippe Zoppini which is under research for the project of the island AZ in partnership with Alstom. It would be a luxury liner containing the characteristics of a town with a marina, hotels, shops ... The island is an area of ​​10ha and could accommodate 10,000 people. This ship would operate as a cruise ship he was sailing on the sea and could reach a speed of 10 knots, enabling them to avoid the typhoon. At the moment the construction of this project is still valid because the necessary funds, amounting to 2 billion euros are not met.

From a utopian point of view we can find projects that provide the possibility to settle permanently on the sea as Lilypad and the many projects Vincent Callebaut.

New Style Mobile Home

The mobile home

Today the political, economic, natural (earthquakes, hurricanes), and the increasing evolution of technologies (materials, communication, transport) contribute to change our way of life.
With the advent of new technologies such as internet, our world has increased. In just a few clicks we travel around the world by discovering new image atmospheres, new landscapes.
Software like Skype or MSN, we can live moments in horizons that are not ours, and we are sometimes unknown. All these developments, and the booms they create a highlight waiting the desire to travel and see the world. The quest for freedom, knowledge or the need to break with the current standards are so many factors that reinvent every day the term nomadic and we suggest opportunities for us architects to provide services, spaces for the nomadic life of a future trend.
The nomad, a heterogeneous family.
"He takes the day or night, that we say to him he s' cares, the Gypsy, the gypsy, the gypsy, the gypsy, you know not "


Despite great diversity, each is a clear idea of ​​the nomad. The Gypsy, the gypsy, are "tribes" which by their seniority, their culture make us perceive a very precise image. However, the nomad of the past is very different from today. But if their way of thinking or living is different in different populations, they have one thing in common through the horizons.
In the new nomads we can note the appearance of "globe-trotters," or "tourists". Namely travelers in search of freedom, meeting new cultures and new landscapes to create their own experience.
If the nomad of the past moving to survive, we can see today the emergence of a discrete group and its roots directly to the ancestor of the nomad. The nomads of modern times, them move around the world in search of contracts, money. Businessmen, diplomatic envoys, they travel by plane, train, taxi. Modern modes of transport for a similar purpose; "As a consultant, I travel a lot. For me one day banal contains 4 hours of travel. "
Trend in flux
For a long time, many architects have studied the subject. A greater or lesser scale we have witnessed the birth of the constraints of mobile solutions. These include the work of Kurokawa, Inspired directly from space capsules self-sufficient. Surprise of these cells by a futuristic style, and a small area which is home to many uses. The space is confined, it is necessary to optimize the maximum.
Indeed, as in each means of transport where man is seen live, every space is optimized so as not to restrict the user in its interaction with the habitat. Peter CookMember of the architectural firm Archigram chose to work on a flexible city. Interesting work on the movement of a constantly changing city, where our houses will last our homes tomorrow. The city rests on a vast web of concrete, which are grafted here and there of containers transported by helicopters. These modules are simple, attractive and easy to move now inspire many architectural projects, student rooms (Amsterdam), office or sitting area (shed banana).
Here images Bublex (Link), contemporary artist who gives up to date the work of Cook. Mixture of Photoshop and Illustrator:

Our ways of thinking differ at different times. Our tastes and expectations are contradictory and habitat mobile is not immune to our moods lunatics. For example, 20 years will leave a futuristic touch. The removal of growths and discontinuities come inevitably to forms that are intended aerodynamic. The movement is then seen as a challenge, experience, and longer spells speed with relaxation.

Instead the 60 most called for calm, quiet and reflection at the speed of travel. The shapes are more rounded, breaking with the brutality of the radical and futuristic forms. The change is evident not only in form but also in materials. One can indeed see the emergence of warmer materials like wood, and break from the austerity of the metal.

Today we try to push the boundaries of mobile housing, providing limited space, ergonomics is playing new technologies to increase comfort. But a new value is gradually appeared, integration in a given environment.
Indeed, how to design a peaceful life, if the environment in which we operate is hostile to us? The front is the boundary between our world and the outside, the view can not be based on mere assumptions. The concept of stealth Eurasia shines through its ingenious integration into our environments. Distorting mirror acts as a "body" is played in the landscape. On his way, the architectural lines of the street are reinterpreted in a staggered manner. Intriguing and fun, this workspace gives life to a new street.

A variety of habitat:
There are now many different habitats, can be integrated both on the seas, oceans, on land or air. They are gradually invading the different areas each time trying to find solutions according to the spatial characteristics of the environment. In a mobile home design, it is important to target the person. On land there are different types of habitat, those allowing movement (trailer, container and ...), and those that do migrate into a single city (aunt, cart, box, etc ...). In both cases, materials, uses, forms are different.
The mobile home on land, has two distinct categories: a trip to a city-wide application of materials, bending and means of construction certainly different from a trip to the national level. Containers, trailers, cars will prefer a nomadic life over long distances. The heaviness and strength of materials reassures and protects the space making it practical to pull, pull from one city to another. Instead cardboard, metal grilles, aluminum materials are poor, often collected in the streets, and of an assembly adapted and thought, give rise to habitat nomads devoted to a more modest target. This is for example the case of the parasite.

In addition to providing a space to a target in need, he will deliver a message of its operation and the visual impact it gives us. An accumulation of plastic bags are fixed to the allocation of homes to pick up a hot air, warming the space and blowing at the same time, the structure. The term parasite clogs directly in its relationship between the individual and his home. Like a parasite, is the idea to take advantage of a permanent resource of an individual.
In the same idea, we can cite the example of the Homeless, an interesting concept that meets the immediate needs of a nomadic life in the environment New Yorkers. Communicative and provocative, this project consists of discarded objects, metal or aluminum. Easily foldable and portable, it offers a life in constant movement on the scale of a city.
Habitats in the water we can take the example of Snail shell. Cylindrical polyethylene. Its strength and light weight allow it to be moved on foot, or float on water. Its round shape is contrasted with the coldness of the material, and provides a confined space but safe.
Conversely one can hit a target more easily, as with Antheneas. A concept that combines relaxation with the discovery of the seabed. Half house, half submarine found the idea to enjoy the marine environment, without damaging ecosystems. Built as spheres equipped with agile, generators, air conditioning, water system. Flotation ring outer circular building with sections of high strength molded polyurethane providing a spacious outdoor terrace and stable to lie, diving and store equipment.

Habitats located in the air nomads are virtually nonexistent. We will take the example of the raft Ebersolt grids for more than its technical usefulness. In fact this module fits more into the idea of ​​exploring a wilderness for the simple idea of ​​nomadic life. This structure carries through the helicopter, balloon and settles on the trees allowing for rapid mobility with ease. The module is fully open, and the surface allows it to remain stable in order to study biodiversity. We can consider it in that mobile home, or structures act as living space, but also work to relax . Just as the wagons or paperboard ply our streets offering habitats for poor people here, researchers are constantly moving over a wild forest.

All these habitats show a wide variety of mobile. The means, textures and arrangements are different depending on the utilities that want to do. The mobile home can also give a moral or fun. Integration into the place, the set of materials, shapes are so many factors that decide the lines of our project. Today the focus is on management of natural elements and outside temperature. The unit should only provide a more functional space, but comfortable. Natural ventilation, taking into account the mode of cooking are points that should be treated as the mode of travel or the development of the site.
Beyond these developments to improve life in motion, I found this structure that provides a living unit in continuous movement horizons and creating different atmospheres in our living space. The Man no longer needs this move to see the world, its space this model with its sandstone!
Finally do not do this, the future of mobile?

Walls, floors and ceilings covered ntérieur three different skins (smooth, smooth / washable, washable / project), in motion and continues processing according to the domestic space required.)

That of the designer Ora Ito Apple is melting and is inspired by Snow White as that of Chantal Thomass, it is padded with chestnut cream and sour cherries. The result of the sale of these logs Christmas will be fully donated to the Fondation Hôpitaux de Paris - Hôpitaux de France directed by Bernadette Chirac. During this time, and since 2004, the agency Ferrara Design Inc.. and society Global Village Shelters develop and disseminate habitats prefabricated emergency and rehabilitation. They have already been established on the island of Grenada after Hurricane Emily in 2005 and more recently following the earthquake in Haiti.



These two examples are of a design, a design aimed to help: the design office. But what is the difference?


The log padded Chantal Thomas for the Hospitals Foundation of France








Emergency shelter of Global Village Shelter in Haiti

First, the design office, what is it?

It is specifically designed to meet human needs and not just the desires. This is one of esign with the design help: he saves it help, he encourages, facilitates and educates. The idea of ​​creating a need to answer is not new, it is very old but it seems now necessary to appoint. Faced with a consumer society that we too used the superfluous, the design office actually takes effect.



There are, I think, different types of social design as shown in the two examples cited above. The only worthy to bear that name in my opinion is one that aims to develop in response to basic needs lists such as Virginia Henderson, American nurse who in 1960 published a theory on the needs of individuals and nursing. Although intended for use by health professionals, this list shows the basic needs of man. They are physiological, biological, psychological, social and spiritual.



For terms of using "emergency", the answers to these requirements apply mostly in poor countries and during natural disasters. In this context, Shigeru Ban offers for the first time his famous emergency shelter cardboard in 1995 in the aftermath of the earthquake e Kobe. The Rescue Baloon of Han Jaseok allows a person lost in a too large to report its position through a balloon filled with helium. Stephan Augustin for his designs the Watercone, A simple and economic turning salt water into drinking water by simple condensation. Note also the large number of organizations, associations and other groups advocating, developing or disseminating (through networks) as the design philanthropist Design for the Others 90%, Design 21 or Architecture for Humanity.

Help, but also encourage, support and restore dignity. Closer to a commune of the Gers, accompanied by independent designers, has rehabilitated and refurbished a former police station emergency shelter and integration. For the African continent, to the competition Sanitary Facilities organ ized by Humanidesign are intended to enable the poor to their needs with dignity. There are also other projects in the medical and geriatric.




It is interesting to note that these designs often have a poor appearance. Is it the guarantee of a design or most of the thinking was done on purpose? I'm not saying that apparently worked is synonymous with unnecessary and that the public will suffer necessarily. But in many cases, the aesthetic is to attract, engage and catch the eye of a greater number of people. It is in a second or third time that the real action will be, thanks to funds raised or sensitized individuals. I call it design and charitable outreach. It is controversial criticism. Sometimes the events leading is the opposite of the cause he defends, Hermes, who joins forces with UNICEF for the rehabilitation of schools for disadvantaged children in Senegal. Here is the limit of design awareness, the approach benefits more when the company, the person who represents to the cause it supports. The "buzz" is an effective tool, no doubt, but we must be careful not to turn away from its primary function.


Le Carré Hermès for UNICEF




Less debatable, the site selling clothes Give-Me-Hope which pays 10% of the products of the partner associations. While the approach is honest, but beware of the next "good conscience". Like Societe Generale, which offers a Charity Card in which 5 cents is donated to a charity partner every time. Ultimate prize, the visual map to show its commitment.

At the top of the scandal, the reality TV show American Extreme Makeover that provides families with disabled members have a new home suited to their disability and without any condition. The program shows knowingly and without any shame of children dressed in equipment to help them walk, the father in a chair with one leg amputated and the mother telling a theater just how small it was abandoned by his parents. Not to mention the man, cul-de-bowl to control the excavator. Not a second I am questioning the authenticity of the difficulties facing these families. But the goal is not again to make the ratings before helping? A luxurious house at € 370 000 is not the most rational.


Extreme Makeover - Mc Cully family is offered a new home



The design office is not the sole purpose of the design object, space or messages. It is also the intangible, reflections, discussions and exchanges of knowledge. 3.0 The design presented by the body nextD (see diagram), said today that effective design is done by a multidisciplinary team which is added above the user himself. It will then respond fully to the request. It is this approach that fits the design office, design a reality as does the studio SafeAgua Chile Argentina. The studio brings together students from art school in California to Argentina in partnership with the Un Techo Para Mi Pais that designs also housing solutions in the poor country. Members of the team tell this experience that leads to design for dignity and better life in the Campamentos, Argentine slums.


3.0 The Design explained by the body nextD





The design office is not a utopia, no offense to some. Even if his actions are sometimes silent they are nonetheless effective. Is not it precisely the authentic, the real design, the one man needs to address now? As green design with which he goes along, the design responsibility is to the heart of our concerns with the depletion of fossil fuels, increasing world population and all the various upheavals known recently. In contrast to the buzz of design, design office.

Construction and building materials industry

The construction industry is one of the world's leading industries.

The industry uses a wide-ranging palette of building materials.





Many materials are not used as raw materials, ie in a form in which they occur in nature, but the raw materials are usually processed and refined.
Clay bricks are manufactured, for example, are easier to handle and more economical than the original material.
Another example: limestone is a material that is used for the manufacture of cement (building material), which in turn is part of the concrete (as a building material).
With this concrete is one component such as a prop here, which are then incorporated into a building.

The use of building materials is always dependent on the state of technology in culture.
New building materials often open up new possibilities in architecture, it was the style of modernism made possible by the developments in glass technology.

The points of contact with the construction and building materials industry in the context of DÜRHOLDT industrial valves are wide ranging.

Particularly in the construction materials production, transportation of construction material and building material storage, our products find their application.

Construction and Building Materials - All About Wood Painting

Sometimes the old, polish, paint poured in a wooden item would like to renew an object from scratch or we can create new memories of crude to say hello. A little skill, care and patience is a very beautiful and useful products can occur. Thus, both the developed as well as your creativity free from the stress of the day you will think of as a therapy method. At every brush stroke is a discharge kattığınızda something of yourself you will find that this business is how much fun and relaxing

HOW?

Acrylic paint (1 paint + 2 water) is diluted with water. Flat hair brush with a thin coat is applied and dried. Over-dry the paint by sanding lightly sanded number zero (smooth surface provides good adhesion for paper copies).
Transfer spreadable glue brush or finger. A thin coat of painted surface of your artwork before, then transferred to a thin layer of adhesive paste is applied to the floor, left to dry. As for the second time the picture painted face of a rapidly dry and become more transparent with a thick layer of transfer adhesive is applied evenly and dried immediately adhered to the surface. Stuck out toward the edges by pressing lightly with a cloth. (Where a needle dipped in the remaining air bubble, air is removed by wiping). Transfer adhesive dry for at least 3 hours on standing as a complete and transparent. More than 3 hours before expected, but exceeded the process of removing the paper.

A little corner of the surface of the paper is moistened and begins servicing. Copiers places is intense colors of paper can easily be removed. White paper for not removing the paint in places photocopying requires more hydration. White areas of the paper must make sure cleaned. Otherwise, the paper layer on the surface roughness during polishing creates.

Image has been moved to the surface in a thin layer. Used in accordance with the paint brush with the appropriate colors and tamponlayarak picture is complete. Sharp-tipped brush is used where needed.

In the last polish, a glossy or matte varnish to surface cracking to the surface, matte finish spray is used.

Tip: Transfer when both the object on top of the transfer and the transfer of tutkalını copy will be on the creep and ensure no air bubbles at all. Wait for the transfer to open at least 2 days.

Construcation Building Materials - Cement

Cement ( Italian " cemento "was the word [1] ), mainly, natural limestone stone and clay mixture after being heated at high temperature obtained by grinding power is defined as a binding material.
Mesh size of cement particles is between 5 to 90 microns.

Bagged cement

Other substances such as binders in cements, CaO, MgO and SiO, such as alkaline elements 2 , Al 2 O 3 and Fe 2 O 3 consists of items such as power. After entering the water reacts with cement as the binding for the power connector is called won. Alkaline and hydraulic elements determines the nature of binder ratios.

Cement, plastic, paper pulp mixed with water and after a while came to the state in the air or water slowly solidifies. solidification event that the socket is called. Under normal conditions (28-degree heat and rain in the air), this solidification event begins with the first ten minutes and in the name of the socket false is called, around an hour in the freezing and strength increases. However, this event may vary depending on the current conditions, any chemical retarder is not used, and the air temperature is too low for about 10 hours in a process such as freezing occurs.
