This work is inspired by the search for new forms of access to housing beyond the traditional system of buying from a private developer. For the future resident, the cost of access between the alternatives is compared. For this, we work from the case method starting from a plot in the city of Valencia on which a comparative cost study is carried out. In the case of cohousing, a management model based on the cooperative is proposed. On the other hand for traditional development, the usual steps of feasibility studies applied to the real estate sector will be followed with the analysis of the profitability of the project. The results indicate that access through the cohousing system is a lower cost for families than access through the purchase from the developer. The analyses carried out indicate that access through cohousing represents a saving of almost 30%. The work also exposes the advantages and disadvantages for families of each of the access systems.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124225245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vidal","doi":"10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15430","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4995/vibrarch2022.2022.15430","url":null,"abstract":"Sustainability of the building sector is an urgent matter, as this sector is globally responsible for about 36% of final energy consumption and about 39% of energy-related CO2 emissions, as well as for about 40% of resource consumption. One approach to reducing these figures is to design buildings that are adaptable to different uses and therefore part of a circular economy. One key aspect of sustainability in buildings is hence the appropriate design of the interfaces, differentiating between durable and non-durable components as well as allowing the separation and reuse of the resources embedded in heterogeneous building components. The requirements for these interfaces are hence separable joints, maintenance friendliness, accessibility and standardization. Hook-and-loop fasteners are currently used in the field of textiles, tools, automotive engineering, aircraft construction, rail vehicles, trade show construction, packaging as well as in fire protection and aerospace. Although still rare in the construction industry, hook-and-loop fasteners can actually meet the requirements named above better than conventional construction joint techniques. In order to encourage a broader application of hook-and loop fasteners, this paper shows the current state of the art and the potentials of their construction-related uses by analysing research projects, patents and the first licensed building products. This includes not only applications for joints components that are easy to dismantle, but also the production of hook-and-loop components made of concrete, as well as the combination with sensor technologies and digitalisation in the context of considering our cities as valuable sources for materials and components.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117113800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this sense, the human settlements of the future must find a way to solve the problems derived from these challenges while guaranteeing the development of the communities and the well-being of their inhabitants. Given the global awareness of the need to propose new forms of development, architecture and urbanism have worked on different models of change that can respond to the needs of humanity on a planet of finite resources. Vernacular architecture and its settlements have become a source of knowledge and a lesson in sustainability when facing the challenges of the future.

Together with other texts by R Moneo, Oriol Bohigas and Helio Piñón, they strive to understand what it implies, contains and what the scope of the title is that Kenneth Frampton had designated in 1973. Underlying in them is a “third way,” which is neither neo-rationalist, nor neorealist, but rather aims to re-establish the recoverable foundations of modernity as long as it was declared as a public service to transform society. This new architecture would focus on its disciplinary debates, while expanding its cultural base, serving the new social needs and integrating the culture of difference, from overcoming mythological history through situating ourselves “in the meantime” in time. The latest Pritzker, and some architecture awarded by professional associations, or the most debated today is presented dry, crude, informal nevertheless sustainable, efficient, ecological, low-cost, which point both to a stripped simplification and a new radical realism. In what follows we will try to verify if any of this new architecture responds to that third way that the theoreticians pointed out as a hypothesis in the initial debates.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"146 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123321744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The drive for modernization is becoming the central topic in the national and political debate and becomes more urgent every day. Among these contexts, urban fabrics in-between developing cities, heritage roots, \"smart city\" missions and \"kinetic\" cities constitute a framework for research on morphological, functional, social and environmental perspectives. This paper investigates contested locations in Ahmedabad, where informality finds space between heritage structures and recent beautification projects, such as the Sabarmati riverfront. The paper understands how a holistic approach is essential in rethinking and upgrading the spatial and urban conditions of informal settlements in the city and therefore highlights the relevance of adequate lenses to understand these complexities. Like many other cities in India, living in slums or informal settlements is a common phenomenon in Ahmedabad, as they provide affordable housing close to job opportunities. In 2009, AMC (Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation) identified 834 slums, sheltering 23 per cent of the total population of the city. Several conditions and features characterize these settlements since their communities are often from the same region, class, caste, or religion. This paper will analyze case studies in Ahmedabad, where the friction between informality, preservation of heritage structures and new smart city developments is evident. The paper will question various assumptions regarding the informal environment and analyze their cultural and architectural identities, the domestication of heritage structures, and vulnerability within the idea of a smart and globalized Ahmedabad.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129104634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Dominican Republic is a country where urban growth is increasing considerably, representing a problem of great magnitude in terms of the construction of social housing to reduce the housing deficit. In the social housing projects in Santo Domingo, the energy conditions are non-existent. There are no previous studies on the thermal comfort of those buildings. For this reason, this study seeks to analyze thermal comfort and energy efficiency in these types of housing through an energy simulation.The energy simulation is carried out through OpenStudio, which uses the Energy Plus calculation engine. A type of model was analyzed for the determination of temperatures and ranges of thermal comfort to evaluate its behavior for 24 hours in different months. The calculations obtained from the energy consumption due mainly to the variation of the comfort temperature indicate that the temperature variation is very similar in the selected months, with a maximum temperature of 27.3ºC in the hottest month and a minimum temperature of 26 .8ºC in the coldest month. Finally, due to the warm climate that prevails in the area, a high comfort temperature is recorded in these types of dwellings. To improve the comfort conditions in this type of dwelling, it is necessary to add thermal insulation and control the solar gains effectively.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"48 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116541689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It straddles two realms: that of the fine arts and that of the highly practical and utilitarian. In its dual nature, architecture is most often cast as a high art; the outcomes of architectural thinking and making are celebrated, analyzed, and documented for their aesthetic significance as art objects. Architecture’s impact as a service, being practical and useful, are deemed less worthy by both the discipline and profession. Pivotal Constructions of Unseen Events reconstitutes a new reading of American history from 1871-2020, a period marked by tremendous national growth and building, alongside the rise of new shared ideas, practices, and customs that have shaped—and continue to shape—the structures of American society alongside the structures of its built environment.Through the construction of five narratives for five buildings of architectural origin, this research examines the social, technological, material, and economic forces that led to their emergence and construction, as well as the outcomes that arose in society afterward. Pivotal Constructions demonstrates—through the close reading of buildings—how to understand architecture as historical event rather than historical artifact. Whereby architecture’s historical significance is not solely as a static object (or artifact), but rather as something that happened and happens (an event), transforming and shaping history in unexpected and significant ways. This approach gathers and reassembles evidence of architecture’s historical significance, elements hence claimed by other narratives, absorbed by other disciplines, and told by other actors. This method of re-constructing architectural history, is meant to recapture a fuller gamut of architecture’s impact on and in society.For VIBRArch 2022, this author presents one of these narratives: “Building the American Dream”, the history of how the arrival in 1908 of the Gamble House (Greene and Greene Architects) played a part in the genesis of the single-family, detached house, which has become a potent and defining symbol of American values and morals.","PeriodicalId":310465,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings - 3rd Valencia International Biennial of Research in Architecture, VIBRArch","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130967215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
