TOOLS. Plastic. Meme Experimental House by Kengo Kuma and Associates. We are constantly dazzled by Kengo Kuma's experimental forays to the edge of architecture, so when we learned that he had designed a new home in Hokkaido called Même – Experimental House, we knew to take note. This small and luminous dwelling is modeled after the vernacular Japanese Chise homes that are traditionally built with earth and grass. But as can be expected, Kengo Kuma added a few of his own touches to make the home energetically independent of mechanical systems. Instead of using earth and grass, Kengo Kuma framed Même – Experimental House with Japanese Larch and wrapped the 79.5 square meter space in a semi-transparent membrane that permits natural light to illuminate the house without electricity.

Recycled PET insulation is sandwiched between the facade and removable fiberglass lining the interior wall. Constructed on top of insulating earth, the home stays remarkably warm year round – even in winter – without being stuffy at all. . + Kengo Kuma & Associates.

Building and Environment - Development of a housing performance evaluation model for multi-family residential buildings in Korea. Abstract This paper presents the development and application of a housing performance evaluation model for multi-family residential buildings in Korea. This model is intended to encourage initiatives toward achieving better housing performance and to support a homebuyer's decision-making on housing comparison and selection. Forty-one objective and feasible housing performance indicators, which were selected from the review of existing evaluation models and interviews with experts, are classified into a series of categories.

The weights of each category and indicator are calculated by using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis, and a weight is converted into credit. Next, the performance grades are divided into four levels, and evaluation criteria are suggested based on statutory performance value or the one frequently met in practice.
