Thatched Brick Pavilion / RØNNOW LETH & GORI + CINARK

Textual content description supplied by the architects. The Thatched Brick Pavilion is a pavilion constructed as a part of the initiative ‘Housing Building From 4 to 1 Planet – Subsequent Technology Structure’ by the 2 Danish foundations Realdania and Villum Fonden. The initiative units out to discover and develop an architectural apply the place we will construct with a considerably decreased carbon footprint.

The initiative culminated in the course of the UIA World Congress of Architects in Copenhagen in July 2023, the place three pavilions have been constructed as an instance the three completely different ideas. The Thatched Brick Pavilion is a collaboration between RØNNOW LETH & GORI and CINARK – Heart for Industrialized Structure.

The idea for the Thatched Brick undertaking is an investigation of the standard constructing supplies clay and reeds to develop a brand new means of constructing in a extra sustainable means. By combining insulating bricks (poroton blocks) and thatched reeds you obtain a particularly strong construction that can be utilized in a wide range of completely different multi-story housing initiatives.

The investigation sits on the inspiration of the historic Danish constructing tradition and the proud traditions in craftmanship and seeks to additional develop a constructing method that reaches into the long run at a time once we want to have the ability to construct with a closely decreased carbon footprint.

Thatched Brick is a constructing system that permits a breathable and mono-material development that lives as much as business requirements concerning power, insulation, hearth, and so on.

The loadbearing development is created from poroton blocks that in themselves are insulating. On the surface, the wall is then lined with prefabricated thatched components which then provides climate safety and extra insulation to the development.

Brick as a cloth may be very sturdy and buildings created from brick can reside a number of hundred years – in that sense, brick doesn’t encourage disassembly however steady use and reuse in the identical place. The thatched components and the remainder of the facade, nonetheless, have a shorter lifespan than brick and are due to this fact made simply accessible to allow them to be maintained, repaired, taken aside, and altered as it’s wanted.

By way of the uncovered development system the Thatched Brick silently conveys the lifespan of the supplies in a means that may be each logically understood and sensually skilled.
