Archilife Investingating Mission for SB05Tokyo (3) (Part: 3)
![]() Taking the opportunity of the SB05Tokyo, we wish to share with you some experiences we have accumulated over the past 3 years in order to introduce you to a new way of thinking and so to propose your own sustainable building according to the environment and current conditions of your countries. Today, we are going to present 4 practical tools that can help you to support symbiosis within your environment and to complete the SB of your countries according to the GB in advanced countries. To make it easier for you to imagine and understand, we will make a brief description of our practice in Taiwan over the past 3 years, so that you can follow our experience to develop the SB pattern corresponding to your countries. SB is in fact a concept combining GB and symbiosis, that is to say, it is to model nature and natural symbiosis. The Taoism is the school which advocates nature most among all different schools of oriental philosophy in the ancient time. If we compare symbiotic buildings (physical) and symbiotic lifestyles (virtual) with physicality and virtuality, we can see that response to the physical environment is the common feature in both cases. That is, something virtual must perfectly and harmoniously match with something physical. From the viewpoint of GB, the most efficient structure must be adopted by erecting vertical planting systems around the structure to form a green walling. Based on the life pattern of working in daytime and resting at night and by applying the theory of symbiosis, we can recycle daily necessities and accomplish a self-sufficient life pattern with sunlight. Also, we can use digitization to fulfill our spiritual creation in order to obtain the sense of happiness. It needs 4 components to operate and circulate such a lifestyle, including the vertical planting system, the nucleic acid diet, cleaning, and compost. Revolving vertical planting systems can be built outside walls with direct sunlight to grow fresh vegetable with lesser efforts. Basically, native species is preferable; and other plants can be grown to for pest control. When vegetable grows well, it becomes a green walling to cool down the air temperature. Besides reducing sun radiation, it can lower the workload of air-conditioners. With these vegetables and with some meat containing quality protein and more nuclei, such as fish, they are the best nucleic acid ingredients for healthy diets. After cleaning, wastes and wastewater in everyday lives can be put in the circulation system, including dry toilet and wastewater treatment. For the reason of safety, compost from the dry toilet must undergo secondary composting or disinfection before mixing with soil for nutrition. Likewise, wastewater after treatment will be used in the vertical planting system. In this way, the circulation system will become a closed symbiotic circulation. |
