Research's IaaC - Cuccagna 1.0

The idea of self-sufficiency is explored trough a self fabrication process. All the building can be constructed by the future inhabitants. The constructive system, constituted of a steel triangulated structure allows the use of very few tools and of few people. The straw bale construction for the walls and the use of fiberglass and resins for the floors allows to have high structural and thermodynamic performances in a completely handmade process. The building works as a wind concentrator, to improve the production of energy through vertical axis windmills. The 3 main structural towers have different junction points, that allows different ways of circulation inside the building. The building can be reinforced and can grow according to the necessities of its inhabitants. By Fabiano Spano
