SHELLter



SHELLter, un prototipo autocostruito da studenti e semplici cittadini con materiali naturali quali legno, aste vegetali e terra cruda. Un primo manufatto con questo sistema, basato su tecniche costruttive peruviane opportunamente reinterpretate, è stato realizzato nell’ambito di un workshop svoltosi a giugno 2009 a Roccamontepiano (CH), da un gruppo di studenti di architettura, professionisti e cittadini.

La filosofia del low-tech , che utilizza materiali localmente disponibili e mantiene semplici le singole operazioni d’assemblaggio al fine di poter contare sul contributo di persone non-experts, based essentially the three spheres of teaching, research and professional practice.


For the vertical walls were woven panels hence, this the name you take in America Latin structures of woven cane on wooden frames to provide support for a mixture of clay, sand and straw. The wall was doubled to accommodate an insulating layer, forming a wall of 25cm with a light structure and good thermal behavior.
For the coverage was revised system developed by Domocaña Raquel Barrionuevo of ' Universidad Nacional de Lima Engineers, using homegrown instead of bamboo canes. The shell shape gave the structure a surprising strength for many of the participants in the workshop. Even the cover has been doubled to allow for insulation and ventilation.


In a second workshop, held in September 2009, the prototype of the surfaces were coated with plaster made by the students using lime, clay, sand and pozzolanic earthenware.
