“El Humedal(湿地)是一个环境研究机构,它试图重新塑造人类与环境之间的关系,使其在所有方面都成为互惠关系。

“El Humedal (The Wetland)” is an environmental research facility that tries to re-shape the relationship between human beings and their environment in a way that it becomes reciprocal in all aspects.

该研究中心分析、记录和处理来自可食用森林和果园的一切,以收集关于这个生态系统及其巨大资源的好处的知识。

The research center analyses, documents and processes everything that comes from the edible forest and orchard in order to gather knowledge about the benefits of this ecosystems and its vast resources.

这个项目是在无废物和净零原则下构思的,这意味着该建筑产生了它所需的100%的资源,并在一个封闭的循环中运行。

This project was conceived under the no-waste and net-zero principles, which means that the building generates a 100% of the resources that it needs to operate and does it in a closed loop.

El Humedal有一个可食用的森林,一个人造湿地和一个有机果园;它可以收集13万升雨水供内部使用;它可以通过生物动力处理厂处理污水;它从人类粪便和森林修剪中产生堆肥;它使用热太阳能电池板来加热水,使用光伏电池板来产生它所需的所有电力。

El Humedal features an edible forest, a constructed wetland and an organic orchard; it can harvest 130,000 liters of rain water for internal use; it can treat sewage water through biological powered treatment plants; it generates compost from human feces and forest pruning; it uses thermos-solar panels to warm water and photovoltaic panels to generate all the electricity it needs to operate.

建筑设计是以地方为基础的,反映了当地的文化,它使用了高比例的当地和回收材料,这些材料对人类和环境是无害的,是根据其热能和美学特性选择的。

The architectural design is place based reflecting local culture, it uses a high percentage of local and recycled materials that are harmless to humans and the environment, that were selected for their thermal and esthetical characteristics.
