PRÉMIO INTERNACIONAL TEKTÓNICA 08 - MOBILE VILLAGE FOR A GREEN COMMUNITY LIFE CONTAINER - 4th place Competition for a self-sufficient and sustainable mobile village for a nomad community. The goal of the competition was to design a mobile village whose purpose was to travel along a defined itinerary, informing locals about the need to take action on preserving the natural habitat. The project aims to develop a mobile habitat unit for a larger and more flexible use. Easy to built, easy to transport, optimized but flexible and economic so that it could serve as temporary and mobile residence in natural areas for tourism or research, and for shelter and support in areas stroke by disaster. This is the story of de reutilization of an object design to transport all kind of commodities into a mobile, temporary, flexible, self-sufficient and sustainable habitable unit. An example of how you can occupy natural areas in a non invasive way, for shelter, research, temporary residence. An example how you can transport a shelter into areas strike by natural disasters, political conflict, like refugee camps, based on four simple ideas: REUSE, REDUCE, RECYCLE, REHAB. REUSE old containers to transport and accommodate people in need; REUSE materials like steel and wood from containers, water tanks and plumbing pipes; REUSE solar passive energy; REDUCE energy consumption form fossil fuels, thru de use of photovoltaic panels, and aerogenerators; REDUCE energy consumption by using natural ventilation systems; REDUCE water consumption by capturing rainwater into non potable water tank and using it to feed irrigation, toilet, washing machine; REDUCE water consumption by using toilet, faucet and shower with low water consumption systems; RECYCLE materials like cotton fibber for isolation, wood, aluminum for windows, steel, glass; RECYCLE used water and organic waste collected into special tanks; REHAB containers that no longer serve their use; REHAB people conscience into a sustainable way of living. susana soares saraiva | think.create.be@gmail.com | 00351912940146 | 2008

FARM_mini production farm for the community supply that can also serve as trade for other products necessary in every stop of the movable village
FS_sel-sufficient support unit includes 2 non-drinking water tanks, photovoltaic panels, micro-wind turbines, batteries for energy storage and electricity inverter from 24V to 230V for electricity supply to the farm and the processing of organic waste. Includes a storage space for crops
WT_use of anaerobic digestion for the treatment of organic waste thru a hybrid BATCH reactor with UASB - conditioned to prevent overheating. The system allows the treatment of part of the waste produced by the community originating Biogas - used in the self-sufficiency of the system; as well as compost and fertilizer - used in the community farm. the waste of the anaerobic digestion can be used for trade
HU_self-sufficient housing unit of 29,72m2, with minimum capacity of 1 person and maximum of 5 people
SU_community support unit with mini-farm of 14.77m2 and anaerobic digester of 14.77m2. In the case of the farm the outer coat of the container was replaced by recycled polycarbonate to allow maximum passive solar gain

CONTAINER
ORIGINS Developed by the american Malcom Mc Lean in 1937, as an attempt to find a solve the defective accommodation of cotton bales in NYC harbor. The solution found was big steel cases that could be themselves shipped. Nowadays the container is the prime accommodation structure used for transportation by sea, river, train, land. CHARACTERISTICS The basic container with doors on one side, is normally used for dry loads like food, clothes, furniture. The ventilated container is used for loads that generate heat and require protection against condensations. The doors are ventilated and there is an electric additional ventilation system. The ventilators have protections to prevent water coming inside. DIMENSIONS Container “Dry Box” 40´_12.192x24.438x2.896m (LxWxH) Container “Dry Box” 20´_6.058x2.438x2.59m (LxWxH) in wikipédia CONCLUSION Everyday thousands of containers stop fulfilling the function they were designed for. Why not use this tight and ventilated box made of corten steel and giver it a new use with a similar function - transport and accommodate people.

The space can also be completely open for meetings, gatherings and extended to the outside.
PASSIVE SOLAR ENERGY *North|South orientation *openings oriented South protected by manual adjustable shutters for maximum solar gain in winter and protection in summer *double exterior walls (existing outer coating + interior plasterboard with thermic and acoustic isolation) ventilated. The undulation of the steel coating of the containers are kept free to ensure constant circulation of air thru openings in the bottom and top of the walls. If open prevent over heating in summer, if closed, maximum passive solar gain in winter

MU_flexible mobile unit, able to be transport by land, sea and river. The transportation means should be picked according to site location and financial resources. However the ideal situation would be able to travel without using fossil energy. The best solution would be the sail ship but that is also expensive and slow. The train presents a good compromise between ecology and economy, but is dependent on the existent network conditioning the stop places of the itinerant village. The truck is, no doubt more flexible and economic but less ecologic - it could be interesting to use biodiesel.
