DS2: New Digital Vernaculars, 2020-2021

Oxford School of Architecture


ABSTRACT

Vernacular design is often associated with lowtech

fabrication. However, this project is focused

on the use of vernacular knowledge using

digital technologies.

The projects aims to empower the character of

clay and set strategies to use clay in different

scenarios to design a diversity of buildings

typologies.

For the creation of a new digital vernacular that

captures the intelligence of the past and the

possibilities of the future.

[EARTH MANIFESTO]

I am eternal. I am as old as the earth itself for

I am what the earth is made of. I was formed

in the primordial soup and shaped by cosmic

powers. I started as stardust and as stardust I

will end. My very existence, like all things in the

universe, is transient in nature.

The method in which you work with me has not

changed very much throughout the years. You

shape me, stack me, ram me, plaster me, even

mix me with other materials to push my natural

limitations.

What has come to my attention is that you have

a new technology, a new way to play with me ...

Change is the only constant and that is

ingrained in my nature.


ETHOS of the project

Core set of values used to define the

project’s development.

People overconsume concrete and steel.

Common ground is the space for those

that advocate for a more sustainable

architecture.

-Methodology


INITIAL IDEAS

EARTH Architecture is:

Not Permanent

It requires continuous care, attention

and maintenance.

Structurally weak

Using just earth wont work. You will

always have to use it with other manmade

materials as a composite.

A primitive material

Used since ancient times

Vernacular design language is often

associated with low-tech fabrication

This project is focused on the use of

vernacular knowledge using digital

technologies.

CASE STUDY 1

Los Horcones de Tucume ( Lambayeque, Peru)

It stands out for its successful adaptation to the cultural environment and the contemporary reinterpretation of ancestral

construction techniques in adobe, wood and quincha (wattle and daub).

CASE STUDY 2

Mesh Mould Earth Construction

The corresponding investigations are a middle ground between traditional applications of natural reinforcement shaping

and digital fabrication methods.

METHODOLOGY

It starts with models and prototypes which

test criteria in material an process. After some

sketching ,this is digitally modeled in search

of a design language. Using scripting as an

extension of this language.

MATERIAL EXPLORATION

CLAY MIX

As part of the material exploration, three different

mixes of clay were tested to compare the

compactability, the shrinkage and whether they

get attached to the framework or not.

Clay Exploration 2

REDUCTION OF SHRINKAGE CRACKS

“The shrinkage during drying depends

on water content, on the kind

and amount of clay mineral present,

and on the grain size distribution of

the agrregates.” ( Minke, 2013)

The shinkage could be also reduced

but eh incorporation of fibres, such a

straw.

For this mix, straw have been cutted

in pieces of no more than 1.5cm and

the water in the mix was also reduced

to a minimun.

MIX COMPOSITION

For the mix it was used Loam from Grymsdyke

Farm. Loam is basically composed by Clay, silt,

sand, and gravel.

Since the composition and properties of loam

depends on local conditions, the results of this

explorations could not be extended to loam

from a different site.

In this exploration, straw was incorporated to

get better resistance to traction and to reduce

shrinkage when drying.

GRYMSDYCK FARM

Grymsdyke Farm is a research facility, fabrication workshop and livingworking

space for architects, artists, designers and those interested in

materials and processes of making*.

It is located in Lace Green, Buckinghamshire.

The facilities are usually used for students site visits, since they have a

wood workshop, CNC, working area, laser cutter, a Zcorp 3D printer, a

robotic arm, and rooms for students.

CONTEXT READING

Lacey Green

This village dates back to the

13th century

Source: The Village Design Statement for Lacey Green and Loosley Row

110

NEW DIGITAL VERNACULARS | Common Ground | OSA DS2111


Methodists have worshipped in Lacey Green

for more than 150 years. The early meetings

were held in the open air or farm buildings.

The Parish Church of St. John the Evangelist

It was built 1823-1825 as a chapel of ease

attached to the Parish Church of St. Mary,

Princes Risborough. The church building was

constructed in traditional Chiltern flint

Lacey Green Windmill

The oldest surviving smock mill in the British

Isles crowns the summit of the hill on which the

villages stand. It is a Grade II* Listed Building and

undoubtedly makes a splendid landmark on the

skyline which can be seen from many miles around.

Housing typology

Housing has evolved rather than been planned,

resulting in a mixture of style and sizes. Traditional

brick and flint cottages and houses predominate in

the older buildings.

More recent developments have tended to

follow the pattern suggested in the Chilterns

Buildings Design Guide, using traditional

red brick and flint walls,

Future developments

(Village design statement)

A significant feature of the village is that

each dwelling has its own well-maintained

and adequate surrounding space. This leads

to openness in the villages which is one of

their most attractive features. Overcrowding

development would destroy this and therefore

should be avoided.

Items to be avoided are repeated layouts,

symmetrical design, flat roofs, sand-faced

brickwork and non-traditional flint work high

ridge lines and cramming leading to lack of

amenity space and

parking

It was required to work outside of the

building because of the steaming box.

Additionally, there was a constant use of

water (from the kitchen or bathroom).

The initial stage was mainly at the library.

Some preparation of digital files was

required before doing some laser cutting.

Use of mainly all the indoor spaces.

Starting for the library, for the preparation

of digital files, and then some previous

CASE STUDY

SECMOL, India

Students’ Educational and Cultural Movement

of Ladakh (SECMOL) was founded in 1988 by a

group of Ladakhi college students who felt that

the education system needed great change. For

many years, SECMOL worked on reforming the

government school system. At the same time,

SECMOL Campus grew into a eco-village where

students, staff and volunteers live, work and

learn together. It’s not a conventional school,

but a place to pursue practical, environmental,

social and traditional knowledge, values and

skills. The Campus is solar powered and solar

heated; students learn ancient Ladakhi songs,

dance and history alongside modern academic

knowledge; and the students mainly manage,

run and maintain the campus.

TERRA Award winning SECMOL School building

in Leh (Ladakh) is virtually an epitome of

contemporary rammed-earth construction and

passive solar architecture.

CASE STUDY

Training Centre of the Auroville Earth Institute, India

The Auroville Earth Institute (AVEI) is a

non-profit organization specializing in

the research, development, promotion

and transfer of earth-based building

technologies, among the most cost

effective, low carbon, low embodied

energy solutions for sustainable

development.

Over the last 32 years, AVEI has become

one of the world’s top centers for

excellence in earthen architecture,

working in 36 countries to promote

and disseminate knowledge in the

construction of sustainable habitats. As

the Representative and Resource Centre

for Asia of the UNESCO Chair “Earthen

Architecture, Constructive Cultures and

Sustainable Development”, AVEI aims to

empower local stakeholders through an

international network of experts.

The work of the Earth Institute has

attempted to revive traditional skills

and to link vernacular traditions of

raw earth construction with modern

technologies of stabilised earth.

130

NEW DIGITAL VERNACULARS | Common Ground | OSA DS2131


LINKING ARCHITECTURE AND EDUCATION

Using a curricular organizing system for school facility planning

As a previous step for the program structure,

there was some reflection about the type of

students that would go to Common Ground,

the School of Earth Technology.

Common Ground is a school for craftmen,

current students and professionals that

want to learn different earth techniques and

develop new ones. Experimentation is one of

the key components of the school.

Spetial consideration had been taken

towards the context, the content and the

learning processes in the educational space.

This settles a learner-centered basis for

Planning facilities (Taylor, 2008)
