Contemporary Case Study

Casa Carmela by Nomada, Estudio Fae

In a similar context to my site, though in Cordoba, Argentina, this project is situated in a residential plot between party walls and houses. It uses the concept of a party wall – seen in the local vernacular of the Georgian Terrace house in combination with the Courtyard. My site is now in a garden and following one of the previous lectures in an Urban Contemporary Torre David where a microeconomy is introduced, I will propose a small flower shop/garden/playground to replace the existing structures present on my site which will introduce a stronger sense of community. (Which seems to be currently lacking)

In the plan seen in EX01 – the playground for children is very isolated from the covered area – I will unite these two functions.

EX 02 – Still WIP

Still WIP of detailed axo of terrace house structure but moving forward will continue the use of more creative bricklaying and stacking through contemporary case studies. (Sorry I’m behind my tasks but I decided to change site/objective slightly and altering my tasks to do so).

EX 01 – UPDATED LAYOUT

Archive of the Familiar: Repurpose the Family Home

Notes:

Proposed architectural intervention will convert/preserve/rebuild an old family home that has been abandoned for several years and is located in the village’s main residential area. Exact program to be determined.

Archive of the Familiar: Memory of the Village

There were little to none record of Sungai Ruan when it was first established. The project starts by mapping out places of importance to the community. Conversations with family members who lived there and contributed to it being built provided information from which a map of the village and a storyboard that revealed slices of their way of life could be constructed. These fragmented stories provide some insight into the arrangement of space and everyday objects that make different encounters possible, their rituals, habits, gender roles and social and family structures.

Design WIP

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.
