About Gilak Primary Function: Etxaldea

Gilak Irango iparraldeko Gilanen klima hezerako diseinatutako etxaldea da. Eraikinaren masa nagusia erdiko huts baten inguruan eratzen da, eta hutsune hori solairu guztietan lau norabidetatik irekita dago, aire-korrontea eta hezetasuna barrualdetik ateratzea ahalbidetuz. Korridore batek eraikina inguratzen du eta airearen konfinamendua saihesten du. Frontoi hedatuek eguzki-argi zuzena kontrolatzen dute urtaro beroetan. Lau aldeetako teilatu maldatsuek euri-ura biltzen dute berrerabiltzeko, eta panel fotovoltaikoentzako gainazal jarraitua eskaintzen dute. Planoak Irango arkitektura tradizionaletik hartutako bederatzi laukiko geometria jarraitzen du.

The Recognition

About the Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award

Gilak Primary Function: Etxaldea Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazlea da, goi-mailako, zoragarriak eta liluragarriak diren diseinuei ematen zaien ezohiko aitorpen prestijiotsua. Zilar-mailako irabazleak lan oso distiratsuak eta sormen biziko lanak dira, beren diseinatzaileen aditutasun, talentu eta zorroztasun nabarmenak erakusten dituztenak. Gilak Primary Function: Etxaldea erakusleiho-lan zoragarria, nabarmenki profesionala eta sakonki berritzailea izatea espero da. Zilarrezko Saria A' Design Award irabazi duen diseinu hau asmakizun oso nabarmena eta miretsia da, onura ekartzen duena eta artearen, zientziaren, diseinuaren eta teknologiaren mugak zabaltzen dituena. Gilak Primary Function: Etxaldea jende askok inbidia duen sorkuntza da, desirak pizten dituena, sentimendu positiboak ekartzen dituena eta harridura eta txunditzea pizten dituena.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: The main mass of the building is formed around the central axis, which is designed as an integrated void and in all floors, there are openings to it from all four directions, which cause airflow and moisture to escape from inside the building. The surrounding movement path, which exists as a corridor around the building, helps the airflow and prevents air confinement.
The stretch of the gables on the corridors around the building controls the direct sunlight inside the building in hot seasons and prevents the ambient temperature from rising.
Sloping and homogeneous roofs on all four sides of the building can control rainwater and at the end, direct rainwater to a path for collection and reuse. Also, the integrated roof surface provides the ability to use photovoltaic panels.
Radiation, humidity, and airflow control throughout the building are automatic with minimal consumption of non-renewable energy.
Dimensions & Packaging: It's a concept design.

Research: The climatic architecture of traditional buildings in their evolution can be the best source of inspiration and underlie today's architectural ideas. Tribal trial and error in diverse lands have created a great civilization in housing and along with intellectual maturity in the field of civil engineering and architecture, has reached the ability to largely control the annoying and harmful factors. With the knowledge that humidity, wind, radiation, et in addition to being able to eliminate basic needs. If they are out of comfort range, they are more or less irritating. The original Iranian architecture in different climatic regions has achieved very significant indigenous and sustainable answers that have sometimes been forgotten due to the modern way of life.
Nowadays, the extreme consumption of unsustainable energies of human society has caused many problems and obstacles sustainable indigenous techniques that have been using traditional technologies and integrating them with original and efficient geometries, have provided very appropriate answers in their time and are the best option to help architectural design today.
In our project, an attempt has been made to use the climatic techniques of temperate and humid regions in Iran; which control humidity, wind, radiation and bring the standard of living closer to the comfort range. These items work best in the form of a nine-square geometric technique and are based on the geometry of Iranian architecture and Iranian carpets.

Project Duration: Gilak Villa is located in Gilan, a province that is located in the north of Iran and along the southern shores of the Caspian Sea its prominent features are humidity and heavy rainfall.
In this region, the trend of expansion is based on climatic priorities and from the south, east, west, and then in height. The combination of these factors, along with the extroversion factor, has led to the creation of a unique architecture that can be considered as the main reason for its formation. In general, extroversion with a sloping roof is a special feature of the architecture of this area. In this architecture, there is no clear boundary between inside and outside, and semi-open spaces and transparent layers of the house combine the inside and outside space. The transparency and semi-openness of the outer layers of the building, the effect of weather conditions such as sun, wind, rain, etc. as well as summer and winter on the lives of residents and their connection with nature as much as possible.
