Referred to as black pearls West Indies, Haiti is a beautiful island nation which many tourists visit. But in 2010, the country is devastated by an earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale, many homes and existing facilities were destroyed in Haiti, so overall this country must wake up and at reset. This is where the architect Vincent Callebaut came up with a big project which is relatively new and innovative urban planning and architecture with modern reply, that's the beginning of the cultivation of the Coral Reef.
Design Construction Process
This project is an independent village development plan with 3-dimensional concept which can generate its own energy source. Each "building has a very simple construction, because basically this is a project to address the problem of the many post-earthquake refugees who do not have a place to live. The design house consists of only two passive houses (metal structure and a distinguished solid tropical wood) which support each other each other and connecting each housing unit.
As I have us refer for thread title, that the housing project was inspired by coral reefs, here the architects took the concept of coral reef two waves, so this project can accommodate about 1000 families of disaster victims in Haiti. Second foundation "wave" is firmly embedded in the seabed Caribbean. Winding line "which is contained in the ground (anti-seismic) to absorb vibration when an earthquake happens.
Coral Reef As the Ecological Residential
Coral reef as environments will be in the habitable by 1000 this family is designed with facilities which support the greening of the earth, a healthy environment, the concept of ecological shelter here be applied with a variety of ways such as on every roof there are gardens to grow crops so that each family can cultivate their own food , and cultivating their food waste and waste as fertilizer. Aquiculture farms where there are fish pond maintenance, and clean up water purification plants which contain toxins and impurities in use well water used for bathing purposes, or raising so as not to damage the sea when discharged to the sea.
