Architecture of the extreme
Kučerová, Kristýna ; Wlazel, Adam (referee) ; Kaftan, Martin (advisor)
Extreme conditions in both the climate, and socio-political sphere, that is east african South Sudan. The recently concluded peace after tens of years of uncertainty means a new beginning and hope for a better tomorrow. After the constant displacement of the local population due to the neverending conflicts and resurging civil wars, the inhabitants can now return to their home territory, where they will have to buildtheir homes from scratch. One of the most important aspects for the development of any society is a stable home. With regard to the traditional communal way of life, it is natural to think about new and improved possibilities of construction in these areas. Is it possible to create something new with the help of materials available on site? Can we involve locals in the construction, train them, and help create new job opportunities in the process? How to deal with the hot tropical climate and the lack of purified water without the need for too much energy, while still raising the standards of living of the locals?
