Description
In the past, we made fire to stop us freezing. If we wanted to cook something, we lit a fire. Matches or torches brought light into the darkness. Everything was more elementary. Now we move further and further away from the elements, especially in cities. Water now comes from supermarkets in the form of an almost infinite variety of bottled
mineral water, or flows from the wall like anafterthought. Fire has actually died out – its unwitting last keepers were the smokers, all other sources having already been largely electrified. While we still know daylight from the sun, darkness has been eradicated. Like our heating, we control the level of light with our technological helpers.
We have to put ourselves to the test to return to the elements. This pursuit takes us to remote forests, high peaks and deep lakes. Instead, we seek places which take us back to our roots. This concept formed the basis for my social housing project “PLEATS” on Yaroslavl.
In the past, we lived with the large variety of animals and plants. Swallows build nests in the eaves, mice run in the attic, and crickets chirp incessantly in the garden. The house is not for only people to live. It involves the time and the memory of all animals and plants living there, and it is the existence such as the changing slowly in the flow of time.
The participants of this workshop and the nature such as the ground have the right to decide of the form, the structure, the color of this architecture. The form and the structure will agree with the power on the tool of the participants and the hardness of the soil. The color will be decided by the rate of mixture of materials and soil in site. The
color and outline will be decided by plants grew by the soil. And after the completion, it will be changed by the pruning by users, seeds carried by birds or the wind, the weathering, and seasons. The changing will make the unique history of this social housing.
Taking account of the basic principles of building physics and technology, simple yet logical solutions were sought for the details.
On the ground floor, the walls were built of clay. After much research,
an ancient and largely forgotten form of construction – so-called “cobwork” – was chosen, in which a mixture of clay and straw is
heaped up to a height of 80-100 cm without formwork and subsequently sheared off with a spade to form the finished wall surface.
After drying, the next layer is added. A thickness of 40 cm was specified partly to provide stability, but also to archive the required insulation value of 0.6W/m2K.
Any moisture occurring in the house is regulated by the solid clay walls, which maintain a balance in the indoor climate. In view of great thickness, the walls also absorb solar heat during the day and emit it internally at night, providing an effective form of thermal protection in summer. Wood is used for heating during the cold period.
PLEATS occupies a rural setting with access to light, air, and views on all sides. With its plan centered on a stove like an IRORI (a traditional Japanese indoor cooking hearth, set into the floor), the house was conceived as an asymmetrical set of nested boxes: shared space in the middle, circulation in the intermediate layer, and individual rooms in the outermost layer.The traditional Japanese house is organized in a sequence of increasing privacy and
intimacy as one moves deeper into the house (the principle of oku); PLEATS inverts that relationship: the entry isa “tunnel” directly into the shared space at heart of the house,from which one moves outward to the personal areas. The private rooms are interposed between the exterior gardens and the interior living spaces. Spatially and formally, Pleats is like a plant inundated with sunand nutrients.
Climate & Resource
In left graph, the red line shows the average maximum temperature, the blue line shows the average minimum temperature, and the yellow bar shows the precipitation.The thin line and the light bar show in Tokyo, others show in Yaroslavl. Yaroslavl has lower rainfall than Tokyo. Because the mud wall weak in the water, the characteristic of climate is profitable.
The straw and clay, materials of the mud wall, are some of the abundant mineral resources. The choice of materials played decisive role in creating an environmentally sustainable building. The criteria in this respect were the appropriateness of a material for a particular element as well as its natural quality and the grey energy it contained. The materials used comprise mainly natural stone, clay, straw and timber, all drawn from around the site.
Case Study : Pit Dwelling
In Jomon period, the pit dwelling, dug down the ground in a circle, with the conically-shaped roof, came to be made on the ground. The entrance connected outside is small. When the fire is built in the center, the heat is accumulated on the drift floor dug down. People warmed the floor with the carpet weaved on the grass and kept out the winter cold. In summer, the hot sunlight was shut out by around trees. Jomon people must have been lived while acquiring hard in the stage which seasonal nature brought. The facade of the house made with using plants must have been melted into the forest.

Claudia Sandra Luca, dr. arch. Valentin Luca / Timisoara, Romania / Guesthouse on the shore
Клаудиа Сандра Лука, д-р. арки. Валентин Лука / Тимишоара, Румыния / Гостевой дом на берегу
1. Theme: guest house.
For this project it is used the site nr.1 which presumes a passage between Bath-house and the construction that is going to be built.
2. Concept and estethics
The house opening towards the water is revealed by the large windows which make the link between the surrounding natural landscape and the living-room area. The interior opens towards the pond, while the blind wall placed on the site border and the wooden shutters of the rear elevation create a touch of intimacy. The interior-exterior link is also brought to light by the use of the same flooring material. The living-room contains the stairs displayed on the left side, with the floating steps mounted in the wall, which go to the raised level, where the bedroom is located. The use of floating steps provides the minimal space with a feeling of depth. The interior is open-plan, the only restricted area being the bathroom. The terrace looking over the pond provides extra space for the minimal guesthouse.
The concept is based on the revolving of an entity around an axis ( the red vertical articulation in the front elevation), thus creating two volumes and the terrace area. The irregular shape resulted provides dynamism and visual tension. The red coloured glass sill of the raised level must be perceived as a sympathetic recognition of the horizotal red line on the front elevation. Though the contemporary design, the minimalist lines blend naturally in with the surroundings.
A tree is proposed to be planted in the entrance axis, in order to be perceived while approaching from the inside.
3. Functions:
-passage to the bathhouse=1,42m2
-terrace=2,94 m2
-terrace=19,01 m2
-living=19,01 m2
-kitchen=5,23 m2
-bathroom=2,14 m2
-stairs=1,08 m2
-bedroom=8,06 m2
Ground floor area=26.16 m2, Raised level area=13,83 m2
Total area=40 m2
4. Structure
The basic structure of the house is made by wood — a 100% eco material - with sandwich walls built on site (wooden pillars and joists, plus planks at 60 cm intervals). The wood used for this purpose is to be considered local material, easy to construct with and also low cost.
5. Materials
All materials (interior/exterior details and structure) are ecological, with a very low impact over the environment, also they are long-lasting, with colours and textures that fitt well within the context. The wall cladding is made with larch-wood, which is a local material very recommanded for exterior because it is water-proof, also having a great resistance to moisture when it comes in direct contact with the earth. Another issue taken into account is that the larch tree has the property of fast growing.
The insulation of the house is made with sheep-wool, a natural material with excellent thermic and phono features, an ecological material that has the property to keep its shape unchanged. Also the sheep-wool has the property to eliminate the formaldehide from the air. It also has an excellent value for thermic conductivity λ = 0.0356 W / mK.

Клаудиа Сандра Лука, д-р. арки. Валентин Лука / Тимишоара, Румыния / Дом на берегу
1. Theme: a small house for a couple
For this project it is used the site nr.1 which presumes a passage between Bath-house and the construction that is going to be built.
2. Concept and estethics
The house opening towards the water is revealed by the large windows which make the link between the surrounding natural landscape and the living-room area. The entire facade that faces the water is flanked by a great shader device meant to protect it from sun overheating. The interior space is organised around the L shape stairs and the chimney located under, the floating steps being placed on the same axis with the terrace door. The kitchen is located on one side of the living-room. The bedroom is located at the raised level; whitin the bedroom area is included an inner balcony which allows the viewer to observe the living-room and the outside landscape.
The interior is open-plan, the only restricted area being the bathroom. The glass facade connects the interior with the exterior, providing the viewer a wonderful panorama over the pond. The terrace provides extra space for the minimal residence.. The interior-exterior link is also revealed by the main axis of the stairs doubled by the purple wall that starts from the exterior terrace and runs along the stair, creating a soft curve side that contains the chimney, and by the use of the same flooring material. The square openings within this purple wall allow the light from the fire-flames of the fire-place to be observed while sitting on the couch. Two trees are proposed to be planted in the key points, in order to be perceived in a frame-like manner (through the window in the entrance axis), as well as zen-view (through the „opening” between the main volume and the exterior purple wall). While approaching the entrance, the wooden frame captures the view over the pond. The slopes of the roofing, as well as the one of the wall placed on the site border, they all head to the water, as a response to the „weight” of the pond in the design of the house.

The panels used for the facade cladding are made from weathering steel.This way the house is like a living organism that changes its aspect in time. The old and used aspect of the Cor-Ten panels helps the building to integrate itself in the surrounding environment.
The insulation of the house is made with sheep-wool, a natural material with excellent thermic and phono features, an ecological material that has the property to keep its shape unchanged. Also the sheep-wool has the property to eliminate the formaldehide from the air. It also has an excellent value for thermic conductivity λ = 0.0356 W / mK.

Хосе Антонио Хуан Марин, Патриция Сальвадор Галиана / Валенсия, Испания / 2 лучше 1
Since we decided to participate in Social Housing Revolution in Yaroslavl competition we thought it would be interesting to interact with the existing. That is the reason choosing the plot of land next to the actual bathhouse was evident.
The main idea of the proposal is designing a minimal housing unit by reinterpreting a simple pitched roof house, a current construction all over the area of intervention.
The project consists of two perpendicular pieces. The main and new constructed one is located facing the water and it is where life happens. The second and existing one contains a boiler room and the bathroom.
Regarding its construction; cheap, long-lasting, recycled materials have been privileged in order to achieve a sustainable project minimizing maintenance and maximizing performance. The constructive solution consists of an outside trombe-green wall that controls interior. A series of solar thermal panels on the roof and a system for collecting rainwater have been also installed to make this proposal self-sufficient.
The project has been conceived for the adaptability of different housing typologies by adding and overlapping multiples units. Final proposal size depends on the needs of the user, from a single-family house to a big block of dwellings.
