ARCHITECTURE FORM LANDSCAPE

Embrace humility in material and form, the little house in Apan.
Apan's house is made of humble yet durable materials and clearly defines a private and domestic setting. Rooms are adapted to human proportions and are large enough to accommodate a variety of uses. The central outdoor patio acts as a source of light and natural air and offers a safe and private space that can be used for work, for community gatherings or for sleeping. The rooftop above the living space provides an additional floor area for work or rest, and like many of the houses in Mexico, it may be built in the future as an additional room. Apan's house shares a similar aspiration to do more with less. It is based less on the form as an end than on the form as an enabler of the palpable qualities produced by the architectural space.

How do you improve the quality of architecture and induce a new sensibility toward material, construction, and landscape techniques?

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DWELLING AND HOME IN ARCHITECTURE http://docplayer.net/28554004-The-difference-between-dwelling-and-home-in-architecture.html At first, it seems clear that by using the terms "dwelling" and "home", we mean the same meaning and concept for both, and in a glance,  there  is  no  necessity  to  define  these  two  words, because  both   of  them  are  a  place  to  provide  comfort  and convenience  for  human  beings.   But  with  a  little  thinking, regarding   the   point   that   the   concept   of   dwelling   is something more than a physical place, we find out that it is totally different from the concept of home. In Persian language, Dwelling is  equal  to  the  word  "dwelling" ,  which  means  a...

vernacular housing

Mexico’s traditional housing "...how they relate to the habitat and the land; how the builders perfectly understood the cycles of the environment, the seasons, the types of wood available in the nearby hills." COMUNAL drawings of vernacular and contemporary typologies in the Mayan community of Motul, Yucatan. "They think it’s unsafe because it uses biodegradable materials, but in reality, materials like concrete and steel degrade much more rapidly in some environments." Tzeltal house. Credit: Onnis Luque "For example, the government says you have to have a living room, kitchen, and two bedrooms, when the reality is that you can’t divide space like that in rural houses because these big rooms are where people put the harvest, thresh the corn, and dry the coffee. There’s a relationship between the land, agriculture, and living space." Mayan house in construction. Credit: Onnis Luque Social production of housin...
