人类在无助和被剥夺工具的情况下,决定改造自己的栖息地。鉴于需要保护自己和他人,他建立了自己的洞穴。多年来,他驯化了火,然后发现火下面的土变成了岩石。7万年后的今天,我们继续使用与我们祖先相同的材料,用水和土进行建设,目的仍然是一样的:保护我们最爱的人,并保护我们自己。

The human being, helpless and deprived of tools, decides to transform his habitat. Given the need to protect himself and others, he builds his own cavern. Over the years, he domesticates the fire and then discovers the earth under the fire becomes a rock. Today 70,000 years later, we continue to build using the same materials as our ancestors, with water and earth, and the purpose remains the same: to protect those we love most, and to protect ourselves.

玛丽亚-艾米利亚之家是实验的产物。砖块被小心翼翼地放置,有时放在地板上,然后以板的形式对着水管导师抬起来,而在其他地方只是为了缓解板块的压力。位于Barrio Jara,巴拉圭首都的传统社区之一,在一个住宅区,没有很多高楼大厦,地块越来越小,越来越贵。亚松森气候温暖湿润,是我们居住和建造这栋房子的地方,在城市的一个高地上,靠近巴拉圭河,面积为8×40米。

María Emilia House is the product of experimentation. The bricks were carefully placed, sometimes on the floor and then raised in the form of panels against plumbed tutors, and in others simply with the aim of relieving the slab. Located in Barrio Jara, one of the traditional neighborhoods of the capital of Paraguay, in a residential area, without many tall buildings and with increasingly smaller and more expensive lots. Asunción has a warm and humid climate it is where we live and built this house, in an urban plot of 8 x 40 meters, in an elevated area of the city near the Paraguay River.

这座房子是由两个体量组成的,由一座桥连接。一连串的天井为房子提供了照明、通风和生命。委托项目包括建造一个有3个房间、客厅、厨房和车库的房子。从一开始,我们就建议分阶段建造这所房子。我们将首先建造社会部门和底层的一个房间,因为这些是他们没有孩子的生活方式的迫切需要,在这个过程中,我们将评估进展,并提出一些建设性的策略来完成工作。

The house was originated from two volumes connected by a bridge. A succession of patios illuminate, ventilate and give life to the house. The commission consisted in the construction of a house with 3 rooms, living room, kitchen and garage. From the beginning we proposed to build the house in stages. We would first build the social sector and a room in the ground floor, since these were urgent needs for their lifestyle without children, and during the process we would evaluate the progress and come up with some constructive strategies to get the job done.

房子由两层组成,上层是私密区,由两个面对面的5×8米的体量组成,由5×2.5米的桥连接。这都是由支柱支撑的,这些支柱被调制成与住房的顶点相一致,这些顶点庇护着底层的社会空间。

The house consists of two floors, the upper floor is where the intimate sector is, and consists of two facing volumes of 5 x 8 meters joined by a bridge of 5 x 2.5 meters. This is all supported by pillars, modulated to coincide in vertices of the housing that shelter the ground floor in which social spaces are developed.

由于场地条件,该结构由25厘米厚的桩和板组成,这带来了巨大的经济成本。为了降低这一成本,我们在模板内放置了25×25×16厘米的方砖,分布在整个板块和砖的天花板上,使我们能够避免厚度和终端。有了这个系统,我们把楼板的厚度减少到5厘米,作为压缩层,而神经为12厘米。通过用混凝土代替陶瓷,我们得到了一个更轻的板块,最重要的是,更经济。

Due to the site conditions, the structure consisted of piles and slabs that are 25 centimeters thick, which entails a great economic cost. To reduce this cost, we placed cubes of brick of 25 x 25 x 16 cm inside the formwork, distributed throughout the slab and a brick ceiling that allowed us to avoid thickness and terminations. With this system we reduced the thickness of the slab to 5cm, whick works as a compression layer, and nerves of 12cm. By replacing ceramics with concrete, we get a lighter slab and, most importantly, more economical.

这座房子产生了一个内部的旅程,在这个旅程中,人们体验到了不同的质地、光和影的感觉。就像我们的前辈一样,房子是聚会的地方,是看到生活的地方。房子试图在通常的材料中,为其他人找到一系列新的建筑机会,从所进行的实验中为知识奠定基础。一连串的行动,以及耐心和努力,使我们能够完成这所房子:大约200平方米的问题得到解决。

The house generates an internal journey in which different sensations are experienced with textures, light and shadow. The house is, as it was the case for our predecessors, the meeting place, the place where life is seen. The house tries to find, within the usual materials, a new range of construction opportunities for other people, setting the bases for knowledge from the experiments carried out. The succession of actions, as well as the patience and effort, allowed us to finish the house: around 200 square meters of problems solved.
