    Traditional Rural House Types: Origin, Evolution & Characteristics, Roof And

    Geography, PG, 2nd Semester Paper‐201, Unit‐1: Settlement Geography Topic: Traditional rural house types: Origin, evolution & characteristics, roof and building materials Origin The earliest dwelling of Homo erectus was the cavesite in Africa, most probably “at Choukoutien. But caves and rock shelters were not the only places for human habitations. Most of the settlement site were in the open. The earliest evidence of housing reflects on pit dwellings, dug into the ground, oval- to-near-rectangular in shape. Thus there is allusion in the phrase ‘Caveman era’ to the caves as the first human habitation”. The pit dwellings took several evolutionary forms. ‘Choukoutien’ Cave Pit House: • Pit house is a large house in ground used for shelter from the most extreme of weather conditions. • Also be used to store food and for cultural activities like telling of stories, dancing, singing and celebrations. • Pit house as a Dug out and has similarities to a half dugout. • Through dwellings man could easily adopt the environment, and his occupance spread in varied ecological conditions. • Dwellings are varied in the raw materials used, in the climatic conditions ( winds, temperatures, precipitation, Seasonalities ) Rural Buildings: The rural houses form one of the essential facts of unproductive occupation of the rural landscape, with the complex relations between man and his environment; represent the cultural heritage of the past and the survival of tradition and reflection of the social state. The buildings are distinguished in three group: • Primitive building: Produced by societies defined as primitive by anthropologists, people have very few building types, a model with few individual variations.

    Guidelines on Energy Conserving Design of Buildings — 2020 Edition

    GUIDELINES ON ENERGY CONSERVING DESIGN OF BUILDINGS — 2020 EDITION Section I. Purpose 1.1 To encourage and promote the energy conserving design of buildings and their services to reduce the use of energy with due regard to the cost effectiveness, building function, and comfort, health, safety, and productivity of the occupants. 1.2 To prescribe guidelines and minimum requirements for the energy conserving design of new buildings and major renovation of existing buildings that fall and are covered under these guidelines and provide methods for determining compliance with the same to make the buildings always energy-efficient. Section Il. Definition of Terms 2. As used in these Guidelines, the following shall mean: Air— refers to any of the following: Ambient Air — air surrounding a building; the source of outdoor air brought into a building. Exhaust Air — air removed from a space and discharged to outside the building by means of mechanical or natural ventilation. Indoor Air— air in an enclosed occupiable space. Outdoor Air— ambient air that enters a building through a ventilation system, through intentional openings for natural ventilation, or by infiltration. Return Air— air removed from a space to be recirculated, or exhaust air. Supply Air — air delivered by mechanical or natural ventilation to a space and composed of any combination of outdoor air, recirculated air, or transfer air. Ventilation Air — supply air that is outdoor air plus any recirculated air that has been treated for the purpose of maintaining acceptable Indoor Air Quality. Air Conditioning — the process of treating air so as to control simultaneously its temperature, humidity, cleanliness, and distribution to meet the requirements of conditioned space.

  • Pueblo III Towers in the Northern San Juan. Kiva 75(3)

    Pueblo III Towers in the Northern San Juan. Kiva 75(3)

    CONNECTING WORLDS: PUEBLO III TOWERS IN THE NORTHERN SAN JUAN Ruth M. Van Dyke and Anthony G. King ABSTRACT The towers of the northern San Juan, including those on Mesa Verde, Hovenweep, and Canyons of the Ancients National Monument, were constructed on mesa tops, in cliff dwellings, along canyon rims, and in canyon bottoms during the Pueblo III period (A.D. 1150–1300)—a time of social and environmental upheaval. Archaeologists have interpreted the towers as defensive strongholds, lookouts, sig- naling stations, astronomical observatories, storehouses, and ceremonial facilities. Explanations that relate to towers’ visibility are most convincing. As highly visible, public buildings, towers had abstract, symbolic meanings as well as concrete, func- tional uses. We ask not just, “What were towers for?” but “What did towers mean?” One possibility is that towers were meant to encourage social cohesiveness by invoking an imagined, shared Chacoan past. The towers reference some of the same ideas found in Chacoan monumental buildings, including McElmo-style masonry, the concept of verticality, and intervisibility with iconic landforms. Another possibility is that towers symbolized a conduit out of the social and envi- ronmental turmoil of the Pueblo III period and into a higher level of the layered universe. We base this interpretation on two lines of evidence. Pueblo oral tradi- tions provide precedent for climbing upwards to higher layers of the world to escape hard times. Towers are always associated with kivas, water, subterranean concavities, or earlier sites—all places that, in Pueblo cosmologies, open to the world below our current plane. RESUMEN Las torres del norte del San Juan, inclusive ésos en Mesa Verde, en Hovenweep, y en el monumento nacional de Canyons of the Ancients, fueron construidos en cimas de mesa, en casas en acantilado, por los bordes de cañones, y en fondos de cañones durante Pueblo III (dC.
