Architectural Body: Introduction first draft
Architectural Body and Urban Emergencies
Our goal for Urban Emergencies is to map Urban Vitality on different scales and gather information about the incentives of natural disaster responses during the entire process. Ultimately our product is an analysis including data gathered in this field and processed to lay the foundation for further research. Especially the information gathered on the scale of liveability is complementary for our Architectural Body research. We process the observations made concerning materials and liveability in a technical perspective for Architectural Body. Our goal is to gather information about the material flow in El Salvador. Focusing on the process of extraction, the construction methods and use of materials, we analyze solutions, problems, opportunities and threats.
Organization: Work Plan
We plan to update our Architectural Body report on a regular basis. We gather information with literature, observations documented with photographs and we have the opportunity to visit places where materials are processed, accompanied by contacts from the technical staff of Fundasal headquarters.
We are able to distinct multiple housing typologies with the focus on material use. The interviews on site give us a lot of insight about the perspectives of people on the material use. For example people have more faith in the concrete panels enclosed by concrete pillars, a technique imported from Cuba. We are currently processing this type of information in illustrations which will be posted on the blog and included in this report and the Project Plan of Urban Emergencies.
To conclude this report is constantly updating with the ambition to have a weekly update available online on the blog.
Example of observation:
- Mejicanos (see Quick Scan: Mejicanos)
- Public space as incentive, initiated by NGO
- Dwellings connected to concrete staircaise
- Unused/unmaintained land
- Influence of greenery
- Example of construction typology
- Concrete grid, filled with bricks
- Steel sheet roofing: weighted down with stones
