A small wooden boat glides across a calm river surrounded by lush green trees. A person wearing an orange safety vest stands at the back of the boat, steering with a long pole. In the distance, a traditional Chinese pavilion with curved dark roofs sits beside a pond filled with lotus leaves, creating a peaceful and scenic landscape.

Zero Arctic: Concepts for Carbon-neutral Arctic Construction Based on Tradition, 2020 Swipe for a study of a goahti (a vernacular Sámi dwelling), a diagram showing the modularity of log building, and an illustration of our case study house. Livady participated in the recently released Zero Arctic report, an international peer-reviewed research project. The aim of the project was to find out how various applications of traditional knowledge in Arctic construction have supported the environmental sustainability of buildings and how these principles can be applied in the development of modern construction. The project consisted of case studies from northern Finland, Canada (Nunavik) and Japan (Hokkaido). Each case study consisted of a survey of traditional and Indigenous dwellings, of structural solutions and settlements, and a review of the energy consumption of the existing building stock in the region. In addition to participating closely in conceptualizing and structuring the report, Livady led the research of vernacular architecture of Finland, designed the Finnish case study house and executed the layout and graphic representation of the report. The research was conducted in close collaboration with @siidainari and was overseen by the Sámi Parliament. The project coordination and research in Finland was funded @yministerio More at www.livady.fi #vernaculararchitecture #circulareconomy #traditionalarchitecture #sustainabledesign

Natural cooling methods in #Morocco

October 27, 2024

"Morocco’s hot and dry climate makes it hard to keep homes cool. But, the country’s #TraditionalArchitecture has found clever ways to beat the heat. Using the environment, Moroccan builders have created natural cooling methods.

"They use things like porous [clay] jars and #mashrabiyas. These techniques keep homes cool without needing #AirConditioning.

Key Takeaways

- Moroccan architecture uses passive cooling like thermal mass design, shading, and ventilation.
- Evaporative cooling systems like porous jars and mashrabiyas cool homes by evaporation.
- Features like wind catchers, courtyards, and underground irrigation help cool naturally.
- Modern projects are using these old methods in new buildings for #sustainable cooling.
- Moroccan cooling methods show a deep understanding of the local climate and a focus on comfort and well-being.

Traditional Moroccan Architecture:

"Moroccan architecture shows the clever use of #nature to make homes comfortable. At its core are the riads, traditional Moroccan houses. These houses have thick walls of clay or stone that keep the inside cool, even when it’s very hot outside.

#Riads and #Courtyards

The central courtyard, often with a #garden or fountain, acts as a natural air conditioner. In Fez, where it can get up to 104°F (40°C) in July, this design makes air conditioning unnecessary. The thick walls and central courtyard work together to keep the inside cool.

Khettaras and Fountains

"Traditional Moroccan architecture also uses advanced irrigation systems called khettaras. These systems bring water from the mountains to the cities. This water is used for cooling fountains and pools, lowering the temperature through evaporation.

"The sound of water and greenery in these courtyards make a peaceful and cool atmosphere. This adds to the natural cooling effect.

"The architecture in Morocco showcases a sustainable and cost-effective model for contemporary buildings, emphasizing the effectiveness of design and natural materials over reliance on air conditioning.'

"The traditional Moroccan building methods teach us about sustainable design. They use local, natural materials and work with the environment. This is a valuable lesson for modern architecture around the world."
