The reTHINKing team was created from the initiative of ‘estudio heliopausa’ team of forming a group of young and qualified architects where we could have fun making projects and we could feel the true excitement of our profession. A team where everyone is equal and even though each bring something different, which makes us fit in the group.

Description

PROJECT

The competition consists of the realization of a project that provides a new  
concept of housing in the existing environment based on the concepts of use of passive techniques that will provide a home with comfort and sufficient architectural quality.

It is proposed to intervene in this singular space, being at the participant’s choice to locate where he prefers within this natural setting. The enclave does not have physical barriers that separate the area of action from the rest, that is, it will be possible to define the limits of the intervention.

The materials, techniques used to exploit the energy must be consistent with the medium being in essence a (re) evolution in what the “Tuareg stores” represents.

PROGRAM

Because the homes of nomadic societies function as small family communities, housing should be developed that forms a small communitynucleus of several families. This does not imply that different housing must be developed, but rather the possibility of different family unions or groups involving an expansion of housing. Therefore, the flexibility of housing should be taken into account.

The proposed program may include all the spaces that the participants consider necessary, where the minimum units are:

  • Resting area (accomodation of at least 4 people - a couple and two children)
  • Socio-cultural area (kitchen, dining room and rest area)


The project must be a unique place that produces its own identity in the 
area and that proposes a need to take care of the existing environmental balance.
The proposal must dialogue with the landscape and nature and that relates its inhabitants with this particular environment, where even the materials can be local and according to the environment or place
