  • 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.

  • Dugout Home in the Late Nineteenth Century, the U.S
    Dugout Home In the late nineteenth century, the U.S. government began opening parcels of land in the Oklahoma Territory for homesteading and settlers enthusiastically staked claims and built homes. Dugout construction varied according to characteristics of the landscape, availability of supplementary materials, size and needs of the family, urgency of the desire for shelter, and the skill and creativity of the builder. Oklahoma dugouts were constructed either by digging straight down into the ground or by digging horizontally into the face of a hill. Either type might be completely underground, or it might extend several feet above the ground, the upper portion being built of sod, logs, rock, or lumber. Floods, wild animals, snakes, and insects were a constant menace to Oklahoma dugout dwellers. However, the settlers found that dugouts were lifesaving structures during bitter territorial winters, prairie fires, and cyclones. SOD HOUSE As elsewhere on the Great Plains, timber was scarce in central and western Oklahoma Territory. Early settlers built their first shelters from what was available, thick prairie sod. A typical sod house (soddy) was about fourteen feet by sixteen feet in size with a seven- and-one-half-foot high wall, a low-pitched roof, a central side door, and one or two windows. Interior walls were often finished with plaster or covered with newspapers, and canvas was often suspended from the ceiling to make the space lighter and to improve cleanliness. Furnishings were sparse and simple, but prized lace curtains or an heirloom piece of furniture were not uncommon in these humble dwellings. To build a soddy the homesteader first chose a construction site, squared the interior dimensions of the house, and dampened and packed the floor area.

Green Roofs for Historic Buildings: Case Study of the Bar BC Dude Ranch at Grand Teton National Park Abstract This thesis proposes to explore historic sod roofs as a precedent for green roof construction through the analysis of surviving examples at Bar BC Dude Ranch in Grand Teton National Park, WY in order to suggest new adaptations to historical usage. The ultimate goal will be to study the original and current roofing techniques to determine a method that will allow historical interpretation of the structures while improving roof and building maintenance and overall sustainability. This thesis will investigate the history of sod roofs, especially in relation to log building in the American West and the design of modern green roof construction as a means from which recommendations for the application of new sod roofs may be designed, tested, and applied.

  • Earth Sheltering Is the Architectural Practice of Using Earth Against
    Earth sheltering - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_sheltering From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Earth sheltering is the architectural practice of using earth against building walls for external thermal mass, to reduce heat loss, and to easily maintain a steady indoor air temperature. Earth sheltering has become relatively more popular in modern times, especially among environmentalists and advocates of passive solar and sustainable architecture. However, the practice has been around for nearly as long as humans have been constructing their own shelters.

A building can be described as earth-sheltered if its external envelope is in contact with a thermally significant volume of soil or substrate (where “thermally significant” means making a functional contribution to the thermal effectiveness of the building in question.) Earth-sheltered buildings consist of one or more of three types: earth-covered, earth-bunded, and subterranean.

  • Balloon Construction: Up, Up, and Away Or Here to Stay
    Balloon Construction: Up, Up, and Away or Here to Stay Carolyn Day T. H. Rogers K-8 School INTRODUCTION Meaningful integrated curriculum and service are paramount in developing units to present to the gifted and talented students in our small, specialized middle school located in the Galleria area of the fourth largest city in the United States. We differ from neighborhood schools in that no one is zoned to our school, and all students meet specific admission criteria. We are unique in our student population make-up because we have five distinct programs under one roof. Although I deal primarily with the gifted and talented middle school population there are four other viable programs on campus. These other four programs are designed to meet the needs of elementary gifted and talented students, elementary and middle school deaf students, multiply impaired hearing and multiply impaired deaf students, and early childhood students. It is a constant challenge to institute programs where diverse student populations interface in memorable ways. In past years our gifted and talented seventh grade art students created a product for second graders that teach a specific art concept. One year the students made books introducing the color wheel and presented them to our gifted and talented second graders. Last year we inaugurated our seventh grade architecture course. During the semester we researched a dwelling, made a presentation board, rendered a working scale drawing with floor dimensions and wall elevations, and constructed a dwelling using natural materials. The dwellings styles included a kiva from Pueblo Bonito, a roundhouse from Africa, a mud dwelling from Djenne, an English wigwam, a Japanese Gassho-Zukuri farmhouse, a geodesic dome, a Texas log cabin, a prairie dugout, a Navajo hogan, and a Texian jacal.
