A Colourful Three-Dimensional Fabric

More than a touristic development,  the project fits in with ZAV Architects’ exploration of the purpose of architecture.  Does architecture have the capacity to elevate people’s wellbeing by staying relevant to its context and time?  What are its limits how can it suggest a political alternative for communal life?  How can it attain social agency?  “Presence in Hormuz a colourful three-dimensional fabric;”  Attempts to find answers such fundamental questions by encouraging the participation of local inhabitants whilst taking into account their interests.  Located on a beachfront expanse outside the island’s only settlement,  Majara Residence.  Takes the form of smaller and larger pointed domes grouped.  In clusters of varying density providing accommodation for 84 guests together.  With a café,  restaurant and wellness centre as well as handicraft workshops,  a cultural boutique and an art residency program.  Set against a backdrop of jagged rock formations,  undulating composition of domes creates,  in architects’ words a “colourful three-dimensional fabric.”  Its blood-red,  yolk-yellow,  sky blue and sea green hues echoing both the colouration and morphology of the island’s otherworldly vistas.

The Superadome

The Superadome is a type of rammed earth construction.  Using woven polyester bags filled with sand,  soil,  or clay – or whatever is at hand to the Superadome.  The bags are laid in coils construct load-bearing walls that spiral inwards to then create a domed roof at top.  The beauty of Khalili’s design lies both in the pre-modern architectural language,  a type of timeless vernacular so to speak.  The beauty of design lies both in the pre-modern architectural language,  a type of timeless vernacular so to speak.  Its practicality:  it’s extremely low budget,  doesn’t require skilled labour,  ensures reduced heating and cooling costs due to thermal mass.

Architects adopted a set of social and environmental sustainability objectives.  That include an adaptive design that responds to programmatic changes.  Use of local materials to reduce construction and transportation costs,  and allocating a larger share of budget for labour costs.

Encourage Visitors to Take Part in Preserving the Island’s Natural Environment

Although the Hormuz Island with its surreal otherworldly landscapes development’s colour palette reflects the pigments found naturally on the island.  The use of naturally coloured soils has been avoided as their extraction has a heavy ecological impact.  The dispersed massing of the complex,  along with planted areas,  ensures a minimal impact on the ecosystem.  For the same reason,  no asphalt roads were constructed relying.  Instead on existing dirt tracks,  nor any fences in order to retain free access to the beach.  What’s more,  water troughs around the property provide water for gazelles and other indigenous animals.  The project’s environment credentials are also reflected in a rich program of events and activities.  That encourage visitors to take part in preserving the island’s natural environmentSurrounded by Hormuz Island with its surreal otherworldly landscapes.  A landscape of such extraordinary beauty,  I really don’t think that visitors will need too much convincing to do so.

Khudi Bari:應對氣候變遷的建築

Khudi Bari 在孟加拉三角洲重塑氣候韌性居住

在高度脆弱的三角洲地景中,Khudi Bari 將住宅重新定義為一種可移動的韌性系統,使建築不再對抗自然,而是與水共生,回應氣候遷徙下的居住尊嚴。   在這些危機四伏的地區,建造房屋已成為一種韌性的體現。應對氣候變遷的建築它代表了一種賦能而非強加的建築形式。氣候移民的緊迫現實在應對氣候變遷導致的頻繁搬遷:建造一座能夠隨著河流漂移而移動的房屋。移動性,將其視為易受洪水侵襲地區住房的基本需求。與水共生,擴大規模,倫理語言,作為應對氣候移民設計方案的一部分。 在孟加拉的低窪三角洲,水既是生命之源,也是災難的根源。每年,洪水沖毀了數百萬人的家園、農作物和生計,迫使他們重建家園。在這些危機四伏的地區,在孟加拉的低窪三角洲,水既是生命之源,也是災難的根源。每年,洪水沖毀了數百萬人的家園、農作物和生計,迫使他們重建家園。在這些危機四伏的地區,建造房屋已成為一種韌性的體現,使建築必須重新思考其與環境之間的關係,成為回應 <a href=“/tag/architecture-and-landscape/”>Architecture and Landscape</a> 的一種必要實踐。正是在這樣的背景下,Khudi Bari以其樸素而又意義深遠的方案脫穎而出。 對瑪麗娜·塔巴蘇姆而言,建築與環境密不可分。她的作品長期以來一直關注物質智慧、精神性和社會責任的交會點。繼廣受讚譽的拜特·烏爾·魯夫清真寺(Bait Ur Rouf Mosque)之後(她憑藉此項目於2016年首次榮獲阿迦汗獎),塔巴蘇姆將目光轉向了氣候移民的緊迫現實。最終呈現的項目重新定義了「為生存和尊嚴而設計」的意義,提供了一套可供社區適應、複製和擁有的系統。 Khudi Bari的設計概念根植於三角洲的韻律,旨在應對氣候變遷導致的頻繁搬遷:建造一座能夠隨著河流漂移而移動的房屋。傳統的解決方案——永久地基、進口材料、集中配送——在這種環境下難以發揮作用。輕盈、快速組裝和在地化生產是Khudi Bari設計的核心。該項目重新定義了房屋的移動性,將其視為易受洪水侵襲地區住房的基本需求。   為所有人設計:探索建築中的同理心、包容性、無障礙性和空間公平性   ▏與水共生 在孟加拉的沖積平原上,土地與水流不斷交匯,彼此的邊界也隨之改變。河流擴張、侵蝕、重塑地形,迫使整個社區每個季節都必須重建家園。在這樣的環境下,在孟加拉的沖積平原上,土地與水流不斷交匯,彼此的邊界也隨之改變。河流擴張、侵蝕、重塑地形,迫使整個社區每個季節都必須重建家園。在這樣的環境下,建築不能依賴永恆,而必須適應不穩定,將居住形式視為與 Architecture
