Archshelter 2011. The project of quickly erected, energy efficient and economical living space (post-release).

 

Architectural Festival “GORODA" (“Towns” or “Cities” in English), devoted to architectural  installations and land-art, set this time for its participants a completely new challenge - to design and build a complete dwelling house. The task was not easy - among the basic principles of the project were efficiency and economy, and fast construction - in  24 hours.
The project  of Ivan Ovchinnikov - The black cube - won.
Dimensions of the building  - 6x6x6 meters - depended  on  the standard size of many of the materials  (timber) to make no any waste. As the result - scrap from all over the construction was barely enough for it to cook the skewers
Simple form of a cube with the minimum number of  junctions is dictated by energy efficiency.
Prefabrication of all the details at a furniture factory “Pioneer”  took two weeks. Assemble the house   tooks 24 hours, as it was planned. In the cold of minus 15-20 degrees a team of 15 people heroically  built the house on place - screw up the details by  their hands, assemble all the internal elements and fastened the facade panel  and roofs.
Starting installation on February 12, the next day in the evening the participants of the project were settled in the ready house, and in the morning on February 14 had already woken up in  the space warmed up by the sun.
For next two weeks architects  held a several roundtable discussion on pre-fabricated housing and renewable energy, presentations and film screenings, and the participants of the project all this time lived in the building, checking its operational quality, and in considering possible options for improving the design.
The interior space of the Archshelter configured to the principle of residential cells with a large public area like a club for up to 40 people. The first floor is completely given to the public zone with the possibility of the dining room, kitchen and toilet. The upper tiers are  for a working and a sleeping zone. There are a huge loft  in  half-floor size level under the roof and a compartment for 18 persons below. The building's design provides any transformation from house for a big family to a studio for one - two persons.
Materials were used the most simple and cheap - pine logs and boards inside, and panel made ​​of hardboard, insulation ISOVER and plywood.
For all materials, together with fasteners, spent less than 7000 dollars (200000 rubles) for  the building  with capacity up to 40 people!
Two transparent façade made ​​of polycarbonate panels of Carboglass company. Thanks to its multi-layer, all the interior space is heated during the day by sunlight and retain heat well into the night - so it was good experiment with energy efficiency.
Arhshelter began a pilot project of the  series of experimental buildings, whose construction is planned for the Architectural farm in Tula region (Russia, 100km from Moscow) in the summer of 2011.

Два прозрачных фасада не только обеспечивали обогрев интерьера днём за счёт солнечного тепла, но и создавали постоянную игру человеческих теней, солнечных бликов и архитектурной подсветки.

 

Основной конструктивный материал и отделка интерьера - простая обрезная доска и брус.

 

В интерьере три яруса. первый общественный, а остальные приватные для жителей приюта.

 

Спальные места сделаны в виде жилых ячеек. При желании перегородки между ними можно передвигать. создавая одно, двух и много спальные места.

Wooden House Built in 24 Hours (The Moscow Times, 17/02/2011)    см. первоисточник

Twice a year, in the summer and winter, young Russian architects come together to build with their own hands their own city at the City Festival.

This year, the City Festival has set up in a ski resort outside Moscow, not for a festival but for a one-off building project called ArchShelter. Architects try and work with the environment around them, and previous years have seen them make buildings out of snow, cloth, wood and stone, among many other materials.

“We want to innovate a new way of living,” said Ivan Ovchinnikov, curator of the festival.

“The most important thing for architects is to work with their hands,” Ovchinnikov said. “We give an opportunity to work with wood. That is a problem in our institutes, where students don’t have the possibility to practice with material as in Europe.”

Organizers decided to build a wooden winter house in as short a time as possible. “We have to make it in 24 hours,” Ovchinnikov said.

Originally, the structure — designed to withstand temperatures of less than minus 20 degrees Celsius — was supposed to be built on Feb. 5, but the weather was too warm and it was moved to Feb. 12.

The plan was to try and build as cheaply as possible with a budget of only 200,000 rubles ($7,000), although the construction also has a list of friendly sponsors among construction material companies and a host of volunteers.

Now built, the shelter will be used for lectures and talks until Feb. 27.

“The other function of the City Festivals is to foster communication between all Russian architects,” Ovchinnikov said. “Architects from Vladivostok don’t get the opportunity to meet and get new information from other architects, but festivals attract them and they can join and share experiences and opinions.”

At the end of the festival, the shelter will be disassembled and moved to another spot for reassembling.

Last year, the summer version of the festival took place on the island of Corfu where teams of architects were set the task of creating a building on the theme of an ancient or modern philosophy and creating a “sun city.”

Over the last six years, more than 400 objects have been built at the festivals.
