Zero Carbon Buildings Today and in the Future 2016

Description

This study discusses a proposal for a 37 m² refugee earth shelter that could be built with the help of seven people in 11 working days. The study is an experimental, participatory, living lab methodology for creating an eco-cycle shelter. The building’s skeleton is made from a non-carbon earth mix and is equipped with renewables that produce more energy than they consume. No waste is generated during the building’s construction, operation and after end of life, and passive concepts for heating, cooling and daylight are used. The beneficiaries of this design include not only refugees but also the majority of the world’s urban poor.
