Abstract

A possibilidade de conservar e acumular alimentos teve a maior importância na história do homem e da civilização humana. A variedade de processos de preservado e armazenamento relaciona-se com a própria diversidade dos produtos e é condicionada por razões climáticas das diferentes regiões. No Portugal húmido, que compreende as províncias do Entre Douro e Minho, o distrito de Aveiro, na Beira Litoral, o distrito de Vila Real, em Trás-os-Montes e a parte ocidental da Beira Alta, o complexo agrícola é dominado pelo milho, que se colhe em espiga e requer secagem e armazenagem conveniente. As unidades agrícolas dessa área integram instaladas adequadas a essa função - eiras, alpendres, sequeiras e espigueiros - que se revestem de urna enorme riqueza de formas, por vezes com motivos ornamentáis que parecem sublinhar a natureza sagrada do pão.

Abstract

La collection "Architectures traditionnelles" se propose de dresser, dans une grande diversité de situations géographiques, un état de l'architecture , tout en relevant les strates du passé et en projetant des évolutions en cours. Elle questionne cette manifestation la plus complète sans doute des cultures humaines, qu'est l'habitation, par un faisceau de disciplines, celles des géographes, architectes, anthropolgues, achéologues, linguistes, photographes... Toujours fondés sur une investigation directe de terrain, les documents produits seront exploitables par les régions ou les pays concernés comme recensement de leurs patrimoines architecturaux. La collection se présente aussi, tout simplement, comme un guide, non sélectif, pour aborder par une démarche paysagiste les différentes sociétés ici en l'occurence le Burundi.

Abstract

Building from Tradition examines the recent resurgence of interest in the handmade building and the use of local and renewable materials in contemporary construction. In the past, raw materials were shaped to provide shelter and to accommodate the cultural, social, and economic needs of individuals and communities. This is still true today as architects, engineers, and builders turn once again to local resources and methods, not simply for constructing buildings, but also as a strategy for supporting social engagement, sustainable development, and cultural continuity. Building from Tradition features global case studies that allow readers to understand how building practices-developed and refined by previous generations-continue to be adapted to suit a broad range of cultural and environmental contexts. The book provides: a survey of historical and technical information about geologic and plant-based materials such as: stone, earth, reed and grass, wood, and bamboo; 24 detailed case studies examining the disadvantages and benefits to using traditional materials and methods and how they are currently being integrated with contemporary construction practices.

Abstract

Nonconventional and Vernacular Construction Materials: Characterisation, Properties and Applications provides a comprehensive repository of information on materials science and the modern structural engineering application of ancient, vernacular, and nonconventional building materials, with leading experts contributing chapters that focus on current applications and the engineering of these construction materials. Opening with a historic retrospective of nonconventional materials, Part One includes a review of vernacular construction and a discussion of the future directions for nonconventional and vernacular materials research and applications. Chapters in Part Two focus on natural fibers, including their application in cementitious composites, non-cementitious composites, and strawbale construction. In Part Three, chapters cover the use of industrial by-products and natural ashes in cement mortar and concrete, and construction using soil-cement blocks, clay-based materials, adobe and earthen materials, and ancient stone masonry. Timber, bamboo, and paper construction materials are investigated in the final section of the book.
