Now called architecture architecture
not only beautiful and for us
maybe to build expensive buildings too
architecture is more for us
We are architecture as a whole process
the possibility is not only building
to create but also a value added
that can be a social more , for example
Be worthy or a knowledge transfer
Over three years we have been with one
project in the south wall employs the
health center in monticello at
This project is special to us
easily dropped
to enter the local environment
namely because of the environment
we were so unfamiliar in there
a foreign culture had to act
and therefore inevitably with us
we had to deal with local culture
had to search the local potentials
and building on this potential
we could not just build a building
but also create the architecture
give a value as we did that
we would like to show you today
If we are in South Sudan for potential
search then look at the beginning once
so he still despairs in the
essentially, it has our potential
but really busy
talking to people and you
some contact with the population too
looking for and just the context
understand by acting there
the context before the essential so
it looked very fruitful
land from where we actually act
have surprisingly fertile for the
impression of must from south sudan has in
our wide
and as you can see the people live there
really consistently as a small farmer
provide them yourself
It is called in such small mud huts
in traditional small groups
stand and clothes next to you can see
the food is grown by
you can live those mud huts
Too short , we have positive
characteristics
they consist exclusively of local
the people really do that stuff there
can search for yourself
the clay is locally available the wood
the bamboo the big cover of the
there are worried the bush
and everyone has the over
the know how about the skills really
with these materials also these
to build a building
another advantage of the design is
that the very good and the local
conditions adapted on the other hand
as far as the climatic conditions are concerned
the house through the large cover through
The clay walls are very much there
pleasant indoor climate also in the
hot dry season and secondly it is
very well integrated into the life course
that means you see a big one free
Names the buildings group together
the more essential
of course, anyway
Look at the current trend in the region
to the effect that meanwhile always
be permanently expanded
as you can see it is the house then
this essentially consists of several rooms
there and be united with that
materials is industrially built
neighboring Uganda
and that they are permanent in that
That’s really rare , for example
I have to emphasize or cement plaster
burnt bricks including mostly steel
Tragwerke that is completely different
requirements
There are two main reasons why
the construction is now preferred
the one is an image thing that
that’s just connected to prestige
to build it because it was western before
role model has it’s massaged
International finite construction methods and
This one together is easy with
prestige connected
a good modern progressive
second major reason why there
is built more often now is
very strong it termite problem in the
region what you already traditional
evaluation if in the wooden components with the
earth in contact make the
termites coming from the earth very much
heavily attacked
As a result, the buildings must be frequent
be serviced and that goods
Absolutely always up to date in the
region
Of course, not only
Advantages of the new construction method man
significant disadvantages of one of them is
just that the interior climate under the
corrugated roof much worse than
in the dry season that’s out
overheats very much
and the rooms can partly even
never be used meanwhile rises
in the interior
Second, there are other problems that I have
advance no account or not
obviously that was for us now
the beets with the more and
interviewer led longer
talk about their experience with the
Godparents and you today with your family
Himself built his company called house
and then told us about the
adverse effects
that means it was with her so that him
The construction of the house was very expensive
took a long time and through that many
Money that in the material purchase abroad
in the recruitment of professionals for
the composition has flowed is under
other so that not even that anymore
school fees for the children means
what can not really be
long term then just negative
Impact on the next generation
even that means hers
In the meantime, she will become that
refrain from building such a house
I would like to grab there shortly before
The sector overview has been built
who knows herself in monte carlo and
paketsparte before faith very briefly hang
that means we are really focused
on local materials normally
traditional bautechnik used
that means you really see
a lot of wood also much longer
there has been used and you can see
but I do not think they are that good
cool instead of their traditional to
It is said that it is very well still
Building system to the needs
were received by the people
place currently prevail just there
that means there is still integration
of traditional processes is the
outdoor space in focus but the building
hear modern character and fulfilled
current needs and massages with it
the little yellow details of this one
tenant protection
so that there is in building consisting Although
natural local materials
be prepared but still the
claims and permanence on under
People expect them and when we are there
then speak of local materials
we really mean local materials
a large part of the materials we use
for the construction of the health care center in
mikolajki have used namely
Bamboo wood clay for the life stones
for the merkel
for the clay plaster used in the
exterior plaster comes from a radius of
about 5 kilometers around the building site 5
kilometer is about the distance the
to walk on foot in an hour
can
We do not want to claim that now
every local potential automatically
material but we want to be
show that material and value
can always be exactly by a construction
very very closely linked
are
as architects we can look at the
ask question what is the advantage if
we use local material
in a country where a lot of the
roads about as bad or worse
looks like it is quite pragmatic
every kilometer saved helps with
and facilitates avoiding problems when
We take a closer look
to throw on the topic
then we can ask ourselves what
we want to do with our budget
we want a big part of the budget
in the transport of materials
invest and thus the
transport industry so the
automotive industry the rtl industry
promote and thus large corporations in the
abroad or do we want with our
support budget local structures
and promote and give you the opportunity
give themselves up to develop
That’s what we really can do on the spot
also generate jobs
for the local people there are
deserve opportunities
thus already creates a value for
the entire community
We can as planner the question
we should build with steel or
with the local wood, the few
Kilometer of the construction site felled
has been
if we build with the wood we can afford
not only by the lower co2
emissions make a contribution to climate protection
But we also like craftsmen
he francis deal with a topic and
give him the opportunity his
skills in timber construction on our
construction site continues to expand
we have the question we should ask
build with cement or with the local
the and in fact every child in the
region Wunderman is the prolog white
preparing a clay from the stone
and dry the stones at the water
air is not planned and you can
very very durable building from it
create important because it is there for us
also that know how to a stone
production just from the population
we can come with the people
work together and theirs on theirs
build skills and you too
again the trust in the local
material to go back
trust in your own
skills and when I say each one
Child in college always knows how
one makes the stone then I mean
that really will eventually worry
Every kid knows how to be like that
make clay toys yourself and
so everyone really cares about small
on with the material knows the material
knows where to find the right life
the people know
Here you will find the right life for you
manufacture of stone stones 200 meters
further you will find the right rotation around
to produce the outside surfaces
400 meters further you will find the
real life around helen interior plaster
make
and especially in outdoor plaster the know
how very important the population is
Traditionally, it is the women
which make the clay surfaces
in thin layers they write the
Clay with his hand around him afterwards
to condense a stone and thereby
a relatively weather stanton
The surface was also to be created
women who told us where we got the
real life for the surfaces
Find and secular we live
need to use and yourself as
architect would have the hotelier for the
very well liked
by the women have told us if
it makes the external short of this whom
then it will not be a permanent building
we have to live the dark brown
take and thus permanently the
create surface for the interior plaster
one is also the women who knew
have from where we take the bright life
can
after all, it’s important to have a bright one
to have interior plaster around bright rooms too
to have
Also this interior plaster is 100% live like that
as it occurs
There are no additives here
sold mixed with water
and then we dry in total
So as a health facility
healthy and natural building
created from healthy and natural
Building materials and if you are healthy
incorporates natural building materials
then, of course, turns one
ecological question maybe
holistic aspect of what happens with
the materials later in the vicinity
It is all about building tradition
of course that a building
not forever is on us
it goes without saying that one
building that we plan and do not build
forever that
We do not care what happens
So with the building
once it is destroyed the wood
Composted it becomes valuable humus
and out of this grow new trees
new building material the clay eroded in
rain
he is equal to the soil and can
later recited in the same quality
become
new gm stones are created
so do not leave behind a pile
Building rubble we leave behind and valuable
raw materials from those later on again
building can be built
We see architecture as a process
So it’s not just about building that
now there it is about more
It’s also about knowing that
We meet the people on the spot with the
construction process you trust that
material and in one’s own abilities
back to some measure
we could give it back
Hope the building will be there once
Damaged by the people themselves
we can also hope for repairs
that the building if it once
It is completely destroyed by the people
with the same material again
the exciting question is being raised
so to speak, that is still the case
had implemented the building for us
to reflect again what do you want in the
this is exactly where this process steps
in the end it just made it possible
exactly this local know how the
local materials about to fire in
the concrete planning of a concrete
building that then really on the spot
stands
and the hammer just points in ours
seen the really decisive
they were, so to speak, the process
need to adapt to these steps
the first was before he was short
they have announced longer than
usually common is covert with
the situation in context on the spot
really have engaged
research trip beforehand one makes several
months on the spot with the people
detailed discussions led around the
Context in getting to know the act
have as a second step but really
tries to plan ahead during planning
his first is essential
on-site planning steps on a scale
tested one on one with object
implemented to look around this works with
the material of the there is available
The craftsmen had craftsmen
the necessary skills or trade
Feedback from the artisans in the
can use production immediately and
Therefore, to optimize given to the
to coordinate processes immediately
its under the third essential aspect
where the continuation of this 121
thought really down to the construction site
that means we have to his picture
process even during the construction process
The planner really follows
on an equal footing with the executors
stands at the construction site and there himself
hand and not only the
planning process optimized by you
Planning effort of the sports sign of
sport was really about sketches
can pass on verbal information
can pass on
and very important, but at the same time
Again feedback from the other side
is also available from the executors of
the knowledge of the executing permanent
can benefit
that means having in this process
really to transfer your knowledge
Exchange of ideas stopped at one
eye level at the construction site
took place and that was it
this is really possible on both sides
equally of this process and
benefit from the building completely
regardless of the finished building
that really means one
In addition, there is more knowledge transfer
worth surrounded next to the building and
in addition to this added value in the
we have knowledge transfer in africa
finally another aspect
then noticed with the one before
can not reach and the word comes from
that we through employment just
with the local context to the strangers
context for us and really the
intensive engagement with these
server our view of our own
environment sharpened
it is there for me through change of perspective
experienced and thus really your own
Environment new construction will be possible
in the end, always
In Europe, the potential is rediscovered
previously not visible to us
maybe also concluding
Hard even a hint to the students
give with
it pays off if you look at three
for years with his diploma thesis
employed
