another look at tourism
This project is located in Ergaki, in the Sayani mountains in the middle of Siberia.
The objective of this project is to review the behavior of tourists. It has a mainly educational role where they learn to save resources, use local materials, select and prepare wood for the fire, plant trees and shrubs, make compost, cook local cuisine etc. But also understand how we can live and use the building without harming the environment.
The building has a concept of a lodge or a youth hostel. It can accommodate up to 20 guests, and 2 people - guides - who take care of it
and live there.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
It is built on a slope, as it is very difficult to find a completely flat surface in this area. But in fact, thanks to the position,
the building is buried in the slope from the north and is open to the south. This makes it possible to achieve significant savings on insulating materials and to conserve heat. The premises of the building have a dome structure, since the dome retains heat better (igloo principle). A dome frame made of metal rods (base only) and tied branches is filled with a mixture of earth, clay, dry straw,
of dry branches, with a small addition of small stones. So that the mixture becomes very solid and dries quickly, slaked lime is added to it, this is very important!
It is known that the walls of the Novgorod Kremlin in the 13th century were built with this mixture, and where the lime is not completely extinguished, the mixture is very strong as a stone, even now, 7 centuries later. Thanks to the straw, the walls of such a mixture retain heat well, and thanks to the straw, the mixture is not heavy (it weighs about 100 kg / m3). Earth with clay is not flammable, even dry straw in the composition of the mixture can not ignite, because with a suitable mixture it is completely saturated with this mixture. Thus, the building was constructed from the same soil that was dug for construction,
from everything collected on the site, except for the necessary glass, lime, several metal rods and pipes.

 |  Epuration des eaux grises (fosse aux eaux grises-aérateur-bassin épuration par des racines-"photo-épuration". |  |
 |  Schema Canaux de passage d'air aspiré de l'extérieur et chauffé dans le four. |  Mobiliers fabriques sur place avec des matériaux locaux, tels comme bois résineux, roseaux, jonc, quenouilles, ortie, cailloux de granits, etc. |
All the main actions take place around the kitchen and the dining room, of which the oven is the center. Here this oven is used not only for heating, but above all for cooking. It separates the kitchen from the dining room. The kitchen is arranged so that the main action, cooking,
takes place around the oven and that all visitors participate in the preparation of the meal and learn to do so with the help of a guide.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
The stay being more than educational, visitors will be able to discover how this building was built, why we can say that it is alive, that it breathes thanks to the oven. In fact, this oven is an analogue of a typical Russian oven in which there are air channels. These channels receive fresh air
from outside the building,
the air heats up inside the oven and enters the room. Then, the air is sucked under the floor in the oven, passes into the hearth and exits through an exhaust duct. Thus, air is constantly circulating in the room. In winter, it heats up, passing inside the oven. And since the oven is not heated in summer, air enters the room cool and unheated. Now this furnace heating and ventilation system is sometimes used
in the Urals in Russia.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
In the residential part of the building, the oven combines two chambers, which is more suitable for saving materials, as well as for
better heating of the rooms thanks to an adjacent wall. Each room can accommodate up to 5 people, as tourists usually travel in small groups, but not as a couple and not alone. Here, a heating oven includes three fireplaces. One for each bedroom and one for the bathroom. In summer, only the one in the bathroom is used to heat the water. To do this, a water tank is integrated into the oven, it is located next to the fireplace. The bathroom air is drawn into the foyer from below the toilet floor (basement), so the bathroom air is naturally ventilated.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
With the help of the guides who live on site, visitors will not only learn to take care of the place, prepare dishes using the oven
(in the old way, without wasting wood), choose the trees that can be cut and use it (prepare the wood for the following groups of tourists), and then replant, make compost, take care of the vegetable garden using purified gray water, etc. But also they will learn how to make furniture and various useful objects from cattails, reeds, branches and needles and other materials of natural origin found in
the region, and also to make a canvas from simple white nettles, assembled on site. There are two storage spaces where all are put
the necessary tools. These spaces also serve as a technical part of the building. The dining room gives way to activities outside the
meal. It is here during the day that visitors can make objects, furniture and fabric.
And of course, they must give back to nature the resources they take from it, for example sowing what is harvested.
In addition to this, you need to know more about it.
Having understood how one can live without damaging nature and without ruthlessly devastating its resources, perhaps they will apply
this knowledge in their life.
