What is bioclimatic architecture?





is a new type of architecture where the balance and harmony are a constant with the environment.
seeks to achieve a high level of thermal comfort
takes into account climate and environmental conditions to help achieve indoor thermal comfort by adapting the design, geometry, orientation and construction of building adapted to the climatic conditions of their environment. Play exclusively to the design and architectural elements, without using mechanical, rather considered as support systems. We must not forget that a large part of traditional architecture and worked as bioclimatic principles: south-facing windows in the north of Spain, the use of certain materials with specific thermal properties, such as wood or adobe, the coat of soil, Andalusian whitewashed houses, the location of the villages ...
Bioclimatic Architecture is ultimately an adapted architecture the environment, sensitive to the impact it causes to nature, and attempts to minimize energy consumption and with it pollution.
But a bioclimatic house does not have to be more expensive or cheaper than conventional. No need to purchase and / or installation of mechanical air conditioning systems, but plays with the architectural elements always to increase energy efficiency and comfort to get naturally. For this reason, the bioclimatic design is a set of constraints, but there are still degrees of freedom for the design according to individual taste.
bioclimatic architecture takes into account the terrain, the path of the sun, air currents, etc.., Applying these aspects to the distribution of space, openness and orientation of windows, etc.., To achieve energy efficiency.
not to invent strange things but with the existing design and learn to take full advantage of the natural resources afforded us by the environment. However, this need not determine the appearance of the building, which is completely variable and perfectly in keeping with design trends and good architecture.

Stones Construction: Sandstone

L to sandstone or psammitic is a type clastic sedimentary rock, varying in color, containing sand-sized clasts; sandstone has been in outside the Earth's crust . After the shale is sedimentary rock more abundant and constitutes about 20% of them.
grains are coarse, fine, medium, well rounded, detrital texture or plastic. Quartz is the mineral that forms the quartz sandstone, but the sandstone may be entirely composed of rock or coral. The glauconitic green sand or sandstone containing a high percentage of the mineral glauconite. The arkose is a sandstone range in which the feldspar is the dominant mineral in addition to quartz.
The color varies from white, in the case of the sandstones formed virtually pure quartz, almost black, in the case of ferro-magnesian sandstones.
The sandstones are among the most porous consolidated rocks, sedimentary quartzite although some may have less than 1% voids. Depending on the size and arrangement of empty spaces or pores, the sandstones show varying degrees of permeability.
quality sandstones are durable. The rock has a good fire, and in this respect, is superior to most of the rocks used for building.

Uses of sandstone
This resource is characterized by its lajosidad. This property is a feature that encourages the use of this rock in the construction applied on floors, sidewalks and walls.
usually presents no lajeables also blocks that can be exploited for the construction of fences or walls.

also for having low cohesion, ie little compaction, sandstone allows its use in another application, making handicrafts by modeling the rock
into sandstone can be found in different areas of the province of Misiones, but its greatest expansion includes the towns of Candelaria, Corpus, Apostles, and especially in San Ignacio.

An entrepreneur who builds from the natural

In the province of Cordoba Summit , for three years, Juan Manuel Vazquez began to build natural homes. This year already has three confirmed projects.
some years, Juan Manuel Vasquez-known agronomist in Summit as "natural homebuilder. Is that in 2007, after making a survey of the olive oil industry, found a significant loss of quality in the care of these foods.
"Investigating how extreme weather countries working with the food stores found that many did so in natural building houses mainly by two issues: thermal and humidity regulation. So it was with my base agronomist specializing in soil I started researching this topic and my career took a turning point, "Vazquez told a Commerce and Justice.

In his words, from that moment began a "slow process of training and research through two courses with Jorge Belanko (Argentina's benchmark ) and taking online courses to people of Oregon" (U.S. .)
"After many hours of study, passion and constant learning, we came today, along with architect Gaston Iglesias, to approve the first plans for building a house of raw land in the town of La Cumbre thanks to the willingness of the mayor and the secretary of Public Works to inform and internalized in the issue, "said Vazquez.
He added: "I knew very little about the subject. For me only served to cultivate land and crops to take returns. Today we plan to grow wheat in mind to build straw bale, grain yield is a bonus. "

- Who are the main targets of these natural home?
- The truth is that we can talk about a wide range of properties that would improve the lives of all occupants regardless of their rank. JOINING Can social houses for low-income plans (as recently done in Belanko Jorge Roldán, Black River) or really palaces of raw land as there are many examples in Morocco. Currently, we build homes for middle class.
- Where are building these homes?
- We are building in for Summit people who are very involved with the environment. This year we have three confirmed projects, we will demand nearly eight months in total.

- What is the cost of a house like this?
- are undoubtedly much cheaper than traditional homes, up to 40 percent cheaper. For example, compared with a cement block building, is taking in this area at a rate of 1,200 pesos per square meter only with the workforce, regardless of the material. In the case of natural vieviendas be paid about 1,600 pesos per square meter with labor and materials included. As the construction time is estimated meter per day. However, the greatest benefit is given by the health of those living inside.

- What projections and your expectations for this year?
- Ensure that the natural construction between the Building Code La Cumbre. addition, keep working and studying on the subject and work to develop more houses wheat straw bales made by us, that do not have to travel far.

mud House:
healthy spaces, inward and outward

A industrial building and the logistics of transporting materials is attributed more than 40 percent of global warming. The Kyoto Protocol calls for 2050 to reduce the consumption of cement in a very high percentage.
"Each new structure raises an impact on their environment, both by his presence and by the resources and materials involved. In building used natural raw materials (clay, sand, straw, wood, bamboo, etc.) According to the area to create healthier spaces inward and out. If we consider the complete cycle of the elements used in construction, we see that the materials industrialized / modern become trash, while natural materials / traditional return to Earth without major damage, "said Jorge Belanko, teacher and trainer on natural structures.

According to the specialist, an important aspect of this construction is related to the resources it consumes a structure during its lifetime. The power requirement for lighting, heating, cooling, is a key point in any home, regardless of the materials that has been built. On these issues, permaculture about many techniques and systems that enable the efficient use of energy and responsible handling of waste (reduce, reuse and recycling). "Every time is bigger than the current value to its knowledge of our ancestors around the building," he concluded Belanko.
