outline 1 introduction -

climate, human, form of the architecture

2 aims of the work -

a climatically responsible rethinking of comfort and architectural

form 3 task description

- combination of architectural elements, simulation of the

environment 4 methods 5 interdisciplinary cooperation - important for the origin of architecture 6 expected results

1 introduction Theme of the disertation:

Determinism and predefinition of the architectural form field of research: -single house unit -low technology design determinants -human health -climate conditions -indoor environment

1 introduction

Climate conditions current approach:

international architecture mitigating climate conditions through technology and energy consumption focus of the research:

regional architecture climate-responsible architecture - costly reassessment and technologically demanding construction in favour of low-tech back to the roots - the relationship between humans and the natural environment Marc-Antoine Laugier, An Essay on Architecture, The Primitive Hut

1 introduction

Köppen-Geiger climate classification map

1980-2016 category Cfa - humid subtropical climate is a climatic region characterised by hot and humid summers and cool to mild winters

2071-2100

1 introduction

Human health healthy lifestyle - current/future - comfort/hormesis house occupancy - thermal zoning according to activities, use of temperature gradient healthy environment with temperatures up to 16°C

Philippe Rahm - Domestic Astronomy

1 úvod

Indoor environment current approach:

air quality, stable, comfortable and insulated environment specified by European/ASHRAE standards

research focus:

air quality less stable, how uncomfortable can we live? and variable - zoning/gradient + unheated spaces theory of the hormesis

2 research

Form of the architecture In the Czech environment, the term passive house is still used (but not passive form of the architecture!), which means a compact building form in a previous study it was shown that buildings have historically been supplemented by small extensions - loubí, žudr, žudro and podsíň (Burešová, Chybík, 2023) - covered but not heated

2 research

Form of the architecture vernacular architectural elements observed in the climatic category Cfa example of vernacular architecture elements from the Barcelona region, Spain (Buresova, 2022) porch, ventilated roof, pre-set perforated wall, arcade, walled courtyard

2 cíle práce

Climate-responsible rethinking of building design evaluation of the proposed comfort for the indoor environment

Olgy Bioclimatic chart, 1963 Mahony´s tables, 1971 Givoni Bioclimatic chart, 1981

3 task description

evaluation, comparison vernacular architecture foreign and Czech collages, software simulations of indoor environment design of possible combinations of architectural elements on-site testing

4 methods observations - data collection, matching climate categories observed with Streetview generalisation - evaluation of recurring elements - architectural form analysis - identification of architectural elements and their clarification comparison - criteria matching climatic region and dwelling type of detached house research contextualisation - tracing similar thinking within contemporary discourse hypothesis statement - compact building vs. non-compact building (articulated, with intermediate spaces) conducting an experiment - with thermal simulation software, prototype low-energy house or housing units

5 interdisciplinary cooperation

As the first known theorist in the field of architecture, Vitruvius says:

"Architecture is a science based on a multitude of other disciplines ... which help to form an attitude towards art." consultation and cooperation with the industry:

environmental engineering sociology medicine meteorology

6 expected results

A climatically responsible architectural form low-tech - evaluation of the properties of compact and non-compact building forms potential applications to contemporary construction

This project is a partial step towards the development of a democratic, ecological and sustainable housing strategy.

It will serve to find a simple design for a minimal house that does not have high technological demands while maintaining the public health of the inhabitants.

The output will be a dissertation written on the basis of the scientific activity at the FA BUT. The results of the research will be continuously published in professional periodicals or at exhibitions.
