Introduction
It is one of the projects subject to the Project III of the University of Architecture in Barcelona ETSAB fall semester course from 2008 to 2009.
It is designing a set of three courtyard houses with 1, 2 and 3 respectively on the model rooms to follow the development of three courtyard houses for Mies van der Rohe.
The repetition of the series at 1,2,3-projected number of houses in the number of rooms that should have ended by giving name to this project.
Phrasing
Based on the structural system / constructive adopted by Mies van der Rohe in their courtyard houses made between the years 1931 and 1938, remaking its proposed grouping of three courtyard houses in a way that consists of three different homes, with capacity for 2, 4 and 6 respectively, having built and occupied areas solar relatively proportionate to their functional programs.
The main features of the formal structural / constructive taxes that are enclosed by walls units are perceived as private space and that the entire area, both yards as covered by the flat roof, is conceptually a single virtual space defined visually perceptible by the limits of the slab which should be considered as the cover of the space defined by the walls of the courtyard. The interior space, protected by fences with broken glass and diaphragms, could not be considered as the geometric volume resulting from the addition of several autonomous areas, but as a result of fragmentation of the total space to provide adequate visual privacy all activities planned at each site.
Any visible inside the walled enclosure involves a real or apparent fragmentation of the space unit and, therefore, be understood as establishing a formal relationship knows the total space and fragments, and among them, and in turn, generating a system of spatial relationships that need to be consistent if we want to formally give unity and consistency to the work.
An inevitable problem in this situation, and it is necessary to resolve the conflict between the reasonable provision symmetrical and equidistant from the pillars that support the deck slab and the free provision of appropriate partitions and enclosures.
The spatial continuity between inside and outside can be emphasized by the nature and disposition of the shell and the proper extension of the roof and floor.
With large glass enclosures needed to achieve maximum transparency exterior / interior / exterior, interior spaces oriented south can only be protected from the sun through outdoor porches, which must be given shape, size and proportion to the inclination of rallos solar, but also appropriate to use and more convenient connection between inside and outside of each stay.
In any approach to the topic and the subsequent formal proposal should be remembered that this is not to innovate in the operation of the proposed program, the need to consider as an obligation to seek the greatest possible consistency between the formal system designed from a repertoire restricted material taxes.
Situation
Although the set is not designed for any specific site that it was assumed that this was somehow the location and temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere of the globe. We could put the work in virtually any point of the Mediterranean countries.
Concept
The transparency of the environments, the monumentality of divisive elements, the absence of doors, etc.. were concepts that were given by the wording of the draft.
In addition to the above project was based on simplicity taking rational, at least conceptually, to the field of prefabricated modulaje. Modules were created inside the locked a gate size of each use, kitchen, bathroom, bathroom courtesy, lounge, etc.. and these modules were assembling on the grid of 5x5 meters form the structure as appropriate in each house to create the space as if it were a puzzle.
Thus we get the three houses, although with different programs, born of the same idea and end up being, so to speak, sisters of one another.
Spaces
1 House
House 1 is the smallest house, the one room.
Access to the ground by a yard short and directly to a size of the modules at one end.
The road entrance faces the wall that contains the kitchen area of a building lobby. In this first module is the kitchen and the dining room.
In the central module is located in the room so completely open to the small courtyard to the highest court.
The third and final module contains a bedroom with dressing room and bathroom. Opening the small courtyard to the bathroom and the bedroom to the highest court.
House 2
The distribution of the House 2 2 bedroom is exactly equal and symmetrical to that of House 1 by adding a module by the end of the entry into which is placed the second bedroom and a bathroom that serves the dorm room and bath courtesy to guests.
House 3
In the House, 3 of 3 rooms repeats the pattern of the House 1 but this time adding two modules by the end of the entry, the first with a service room and bathroom and the second with the third suite.
This is the only shelter in a space that is created exclusively for the movement to compress module bedroom + service courtesy to allow the passage to the last module suite.
Structure
The modular structure rationally entire project. The whole is solved with porches 5 x 5 meters materialized pillar circular section of steel and reinforced concrete deck.
The flight deck 1.5 meters on each side of the gate by a covered area of 8 meters (5 + portico of 1.5 per side). This will achieve a perfectly symmetrical structure that will give less problems in their implementation as throughout his life.
All the pillars are in sight except for those "shared" between two homes or until they reach the perimeter of the site. These pillars are replaced by a wall of 30 inches that in one case dividing wall between two housing and the other front of the whole.
To solve each of the various programs we need to go home simply adding modules 5x5 meters to achieve the desired floor area.
In this case the House 1 consists of 3 modules, House 2 House 3 and 4 of 5.
Materials
The main structure of the set is solved with reinforced concrete and steel while the glass enclosures materialize with aluminum profiles.
The floor is solved with square pieces that are modulated according to the standard 7 tiles per module structure of 5 meters and stays at home and abroad. Both inside and outside the tiles are of the same material to achieve a spatial continuity that is also present in the continuity of the roof from inside to outside. Tiles placed on the outside, however, have a different treatment to the interior to avoid slipping when they are wet.
Having solved the structure, with four fences and paving materials ensures a better aging housing. Other materials are present in the house as some ceramic, wood, etc. but these are merely the result of the interior decoration of the house and therefore vary according to the tenant occupies.
