AirDrop House: Sustainable housing solution for flood-hit areas

AirDrop House: Sustainable housing solution for flood-hit areas
Conceived by architect Andrew Maynard and his team, the AirDrop House is a sustainable housing solution for flood-hit areas. The tiny houses made from dried sponge-like material could be dropped onto the affected areas by standard military aircrafts. The instant floating abodes expand up to a seven meters diameter from original one-meter diameter as soon as it contacts water. It slowly soaks up water and swells into a self-sustaining temporary house. Via: Inhabitat Related:  Builders & Designers

Colorful Binishell Dome Homes Made from Inflatable Concrete Cost Just $3,500 Architect Nicoló Bini uses a technique similar to covering a balloon with papier-mâché to build his concrete Binishell domed homes. He starts with a two-dimensional shape on the ground, adds wooden form around an air bladder and reinforcing steel rebar, and then places a load of concrete that sets and slowly rises from the ground. Hit the jump to learn more about these unusual structures. This strange building technique combines an ancient building material with a modern-day aesthetic. It was pioneered by Nicoló’s father Dante, who built the first Binishell in 1964 (which is still standing today.) As the concrete sets around the form and structural support, an air pump is used to fill the bladder beneath.

Dom Kopuła - projekty, realizacja, różne technologie -Studio Sergiel Dom Kopuła Do osób, które chcą mieć dom kopułę, ale nie wiedza od czego zacząć. Drogi inwestorze To co zamierzam Ci tu wytłumaczyć jest rzeczą na tyle rzadką i na tyle cenną, że wie o tym zaledwie 1 osoba na 1000, które chcą postawić lub budują swój dom. Nazywam się Sebastian Sergiel i jestem architektem. Jak osoby bez żadnego doświadczenia w budownictwie mogą znać się na cenach realizacji domów? Poza tym nie wiedzieli ile będzie kosztowało ich utrzymanie takiego domu. Często słyszałem, gdy już zamknęliśmy projekt i przymierzaliśmy się do realizacji, jak mówili: „Jakoś to będzie”. Ceny materiałów do ogrzewania domu cały czas rosną. Drewno opałowe zdrożało o ponad 50% w przeciągu kilku ostatnich lat, a gaz mamy najdroższy w Europie, więc określenie „jakoś to będzie” nie napawało mnie nadzieją, że moje projekty doczekają się realizacji. Po zrealizowaniu domu właściciele większość swojego czasu poświęcali na to, aby ten dom utrzymać, zamiast spędzać czas z rodziną. Przerobiliśmy różne opcje. P.S.

Xiglú El Xiglú de Xilacurve nasce a principio de 2011 de un proyecto empresarial promovido por Juan José Campos y Javier Cejudo. La misión de esa idea era de ofrecer un sistema de edificación modular, transportable, ecológico y accesible para personas que quisieran ser protagonistas en los procesos de diseño y construcción de sus espacios vitales: hogar, trabajo, ocio, cultura, etc. El proyecto está dirigido a cualquier persona en cualquier parte del planeta, para que con el mínimo de recursos, pueda crear espacios ecológicos donde trabajar y vivir dignamente. ¿Qué es un Xiglú? El Xiglú es un innovador sistema de edificación modular y ecológica, inspirado en el iglú de los inuit en la región ártica, diseñado y fabricado por Xilacurve en Serón (Almería, España). Está pensado como una edificación pasiva y de energía casi nula, por lo que el gasto para su climatización es el mínimo. El Xiglú responde al estilo de vida actual y a la necesidad de disfrutar de un hábitat flexible y sostenible. .

The Geodesic Earthworks Kit... The Geodesic Earthworks Kit brings together for the first time two very innovative yet under-utilized building technologies within the home construction industry: the Geodesic Dome and Earth-sheltering. Kit Components: Struts, Hubs and Tiles:The Geodesic Earthworks Kit, custom shell product, is composed of (1) aluminum struts and (2)hubs which form the Geodesic Dome framework; a system of very exactly sized and angled triangles. This framework looks like this: For the four-frequency Geodesic Dome seen here, there are 250 struts with 91 hubs that serve to attach or intersect these struts. So...the Geodesic Earthworks Kit (GEK) product is a custom “shell” specifically designed to be earth-sheltered that rapidly constructs to give an interior dome shell surface that is finished upon assembly. RationaleThis is a marriage made in heaven. An electrical engineer from a large northeast contracting firm stated:

These revolutionary Eco Domes use air to construct the worlds greenest habitat so far | Pionic Domes represent a way of constructing buildings that inherit a lot of things long forgotten. They always resemble an attitude to go green, can be built in a highly efficient process and literally feature a breath of fresh air if you’re living in it. Here comes architect Nicoló Bini envisioning a construction method that provides highly efficient building envelopes, naturally stronger and more flexible in size and shape. Using air as his formwork, the so-called Binishells could easily be seen as the greenest way to construct an amazing bubble-shaped habitat. They can also be built fast and cost efficient, becoming affordable for almost any application area, ranging from high-end residential to schools, gymnasiums, commercial buildings or even emergency shelters. Binishells are created by using a revolutionary pneumatic process. The unique process is somewhat of a ‘family recipe’ handed down from his father Dante, who built the first Binishell in 1964.

Alexandru Dinulescu face case sferice la preț de apartament. Da, domuri geodezice pe structură de lemn | Adela Pârvu - Interior design blogger Prima casă a făcut-o pentru mama lui, la Izvoarele, localitate situată la 70 de kilometri de Brașov. Și a ridicat-o în plină criză, adică în 2009, după ce a plecat de la o mare firmă de construcții unde era șef peste o echipă de 250 de oameni. A plecat pentru că și-a dorit ca inginer constructor să ofere o alternativă oamenilor care-și doreau case la un preț rezonabil. Alexandru Dinulescu Alexandru Dinulescu are 36 de ani este căsătorit, are o fetiță și este un om cu principii solide. Dar dacă Buckminster Fuller a creat în special construcții de mare amploare, căci o structură tip dom poate avea un diametru de 680 de metri, Alexandru Dinulescu a vrut să afle mai multe despre domurile din zona rezidențială, a vrut să afle cum este continuată ideea lui Fuller. Alexandru Dinulescu a analizat conceptul american și și-a spus că acest gen de case trebuie să fie rezonabile ca preț și pentru famiilile care ar căuta o alternativă la locuințele de bloc. Dar de ce a reușit să le facă mai ieftin?

Bucky Dome: Daddy of all geodesic dome homes CARBONDALE, Ill.--When you see a geodesic dome, you know exactly what it is. You don't have to wonder if it's Georgian, Victorian, or neomodern. It's a dome. R. An effort to restore the dome has been given new life with the recent award of a Save America's Treasures matching grant to the tune of $125,000. The group has its work cut out for it. A much more modern geodesic dome in the form of metal piping and tarps covers the entire outside in an attempt to protect Bucky's former residence.
