BAU. Find and Solve.
School of superior design BAU
It is obvious that the building can be renovated again and again. You can spend more and more money, but still will be something, which could be ‘updated’.
We didn’t want to make a project, which would be one of serie of “Pimp my BAU”. We decided to ask students, make a small research and understand, where the buildings have problems, find them and solve.
Found and Solved:
Uneffective heating and air-filtering system. /Solution slide 3-4/
Water-collection. /Solution slide 5-7/
Uncomfortable for staying court-yards. /Solution slide 7/
Lack of natural light on the second floor rooms. /Solution slide 8/
Sun protection. /Solution slide 9-10/
Energy production for use and share. /Solution slide 11/
Acoustic problems and material issues. /Solution slide 12-14/

Reclaimed Rubber, which use shredded tires to compose panels that fit together to form a rubber sidewalk. The rubber is even good for trees, letting the sidewalk raise and bend around the roots. You no longer have to remove entire trees to keep concrete from being torn up and replaced. In 2006, 60 cities from 15 different states in America tested rubber sidewalks. Residents find the rubber feels good under their feet and sound is reduced, as well. It’s safe and non-toxic. Rubber sidewalks also comes in different colors. While the main motive is to save trees, recycled rubber also reduces the waste from tires each year. In California alone, tires create an estimated 408 million pounds of waste rubber.

Jalcreto: A structural and thermic material
Jalcreto is a convination of materials (Pomex stone and cement) mainly used to make bricks which hold heavy leads and at the same time provides the space with a great thermic insolation. That is mainly because the Pomex stone is a porous and light material mainly found on river beds. This kind of brick haves similar characteristics as Adobe with the advantage of being much more resistant and structurally well accepted.
