Disaster Resistant Housing Interesting Calearth NASA

We have seen some excellent examples of architecture and the front of the emergency disaster-resistant Architecture for Humanity house in Biloxi Model dull, and given the possibility that we will always face more and more natural disasters in our lives, we think it is very important to direct attention for designing the architecture of disaster-resistant housing. California Institute of Earth Art and Architecture (ie-CalEarth) is a company that is interesting in this regard.

CalEarth’s research and educational programs

snapping they are great for disaster resilience, and now proven to be applied in the context of a more ambitious (we are talking about space). Not only are their homes clay domes earthquake-resistant and environmentally friendly – but thanks to the attention of NASA, there is a possibility they might call us the moon “home” in the future.

Founded in 1986 by internationally renowned architect Nader Khalili, CalEarth research and educational programs focusing on social innovation in architecture, building construction for NASA lunar base, and solutions design and development of housing for the homeless around the world with the support of the United Nations. Shelter CalEarth on the ceramics made from four natural elements (earth, water, air, fire) by using only three simple steps outlined by Khail: “We dug soil. Earth is placed in a bag We stack. Them and manage them.” With the word another way, after a block of land in the place ransacked each room is baked to create a thick crust and sustainable Clay.

Khalili dome base success on all the important structures in the history of architecture, including the basic shape and roof materials used in ancient cultures built from the ground up (literally). Design simple house CalEarth roast only cheap “around $ 3,200 for design If you think something a little more complicated. Only the land barren and dry one week time, and about $ 90,000 The walls provide passive heating such as earthquakes Trombe wall. And natural air cooling through a series of windows and doors strategically placed.

Why is this “super-adobe” houses, the possibility for the structure of the moon? Think about the amount of materials needed to build a house, then ask yourself how we can get the same material to the moon. Feasibility CalEarth structure seems to be much more practical, and has been recognized by scientists from NASA. Which leaves us with the question: “When will we live?”
