Transplanting of Korean heating and ventilation method to English Cob construction technique is my primary idea.

So, during the summer, fundamentally it uses the system of Daechung.

Also, it will use Deulchang (image above) to allow more ventilation and higher ceiling hieght for large thermal mass. Also, there is openings which allow the escaping of the hot air.

During the winter, it will adopt Ondol, but it will use fire furnace or aga as heat source. Ceiling height is relatively lower than that of summer for faster heating.

In terms of spatial use, the ground floor will be secondary servant space, and first floor will be primary served space.

I selected source vernacular as Hanok of Korean and target vernacular as Devon Cob of UK.

I’ll update annotation later

I want to integrate the Korean vernacular technique of heating and ventilation into the English vernacular construction technique and material because UK weather is getting extreme both summer and winter these days so probably continental architecture (Korean) can be adaptable.

I’ll configure the poster later

Previous one was based on geology (soil parent material criterion), and this one is based on the land use and the selected site.

Also I’m curious about ‘soil parent material’ represents both superficial and bedrock material for the previous map
