technological Reconsideration

Again

Mercury warning me about the use of appropriate technologies for the reconstruction of typical areas, however this time I leave open the hope that the authorities responsible for administering the funds subsidiary to the process, are encouraged. Specifically, the April 12, the cover body C of the newspaper, published an article that the title says: "The project bid to rebuild with mud and wood houses in rural areas." Reading the article, refers neither more nor less than one of the systems we work in the reconstruction of rural housing post earthquake of 85, developed in several variables. I mentioned in this blog the systematization of experiences particularly of NGOs in this regard, with a Ppt. may be reviewed, and where rescue review several vernacular technologies with more contemporary applications of technology that to earthquake resistant. This work was published in full in the Report of the 2nd Seminar and Workshop for Rural Housing and quality of rural life, organized by the English Cooperation through CYTED, and his line on the habitat, Habyted with specific network on the theme XIV E-2001.
I am glad therefore that other researchers could carry out the rescue of a proven technology and absolutely in tune with the typical areas affected by earthquakes of 27F, and urges us to rely on professionals assigned to establish the application of subsidies for reconstruction through the articulated statutory Housing Solidarity Fund, and its transient related to the contingency, where the seven points concerning the application of that program, specifies that the 5 th point is configured to meet the economic and typical areas of which we have so many in the affected areas. It is particularly interesting topic in the Colchagua Valley, where damage has been large, and the rescue of habitat should be done carefully, considering that the big plus of this territory which has been ordered integralmentge about wine tourism. This situation highlights the landscape the valley is more relavancia, as it has been one of the things that has put in value, and allow for example, that by 2005, the Colchagua Valley, has been designated by the magazine "Wine Magazine Enthusiasm" Vitivinícoila Valley as the best in the world, competing on an equal footing with other wine producing areas of long and distinguished career. This award not only recognized the virtues of the star product of the Valley, its wines, but the context in which it occurs. That is, its natural and built landscapes, where towns such as those arising Lolol Peralillo, Pumanque, etc. that give a unique identity globally, which are combined with a commitment effective stewardship of the environment and quality of life for its residents, generating sustainable development is an example for the country's Land, which still lacks comprehensive legislation in this regard.
Well then these efforts should increase in the rescue of these appropriate technologies sismosresistentes, and tested for their effectiveness and their commitment to environmental sustainability, landscape, cultural and productive. I join in my academic work in these efforts, and which I have committed to developing the enhancement of the attributes of full rescue of a valley that deserves the best we dedicate our efforts.

PLATFORM FOR THE REHABILITATION OF ALCAZABA SAYS FIRST PHASE OF THE WORK OR RESPECT THE MONUMENT MEETS THE LAW OR EQUITY

Upon receipt of the minutes of the last meeting of the Monitoring Committee of the rehabilitation of the Arab Alcazaba Badajoz, Platform Recovery of the Alcazaba, consisting of a number of cultural and recreational associations of the city, wants to make public some important considerations, they already put on the table at this meeting with representatives of the Ministry of Housing Board Badajoz Extremadura and City Council.

After the study and architectural analysis and archaeological technicians have made the project platform of the first phase of rehabilitation of the Citadel, run by the Junta de Extremadura and the Central Government, it becomes shows that it does not meet the two basic premises must have a project intended to focus on the main monument of the city, declared of Cultural Interest, a National Monument and is considered one of the best fortresses in Spain. These two premises are:

1 .- reclamation works respect the monument and not alter and distort with new works and disadvantages, such as look up all the wall without Murari serious studies before and without preserving the original features are preserved Almohad period, or pretend to replace the original elements or parts that have been added to the monument over the centuries and who are already protected from him, as the parapet and the parapet or stair S. XVII is to overthrow, to do new works suitable high-impact and nothing to the monument to be rehabilitated.

2 .- That the rehabilitation project meets the Heritage Act the Government of Extremadura and the English Historical Heritage Act . This is the minimum that may be required for a project that will restore a monument as important as the Alcazaba de Badajoz, and obviously not true, then delete the original elements of the monument or other, the result of successive reforms from S. XII so far but perfectly integrated into the whole direct violation of the Extremadura Heritage Act 21/1999, Article 33 and following, relating to the intervention criteria in buildings declared BIC:

"Art 33: Any work in a building declared of Cultural Interest will be aimed at their protection, conservation and improvement, according to the following criteria:

b) volumetric and spatial characteristics of the building and the contributions the ages must be respected.

f) prevent aggressive actions in interventions, unless they are motivated and technically considered essential. "

is clear that the 7 points reported by the Platform for the rehabilitation of the Citadel to the Monitoring Committee of the project are protected by law and by the most elementary common sense. They are:

1 .- Make a Murari and stratigraphic study of the wall prior their rehabilitation, for plastering where necessary and to preserve the remaining original witnesses of S. XII and later.

2 .- Do not delete the existing parapet, already integrated in perfect condition with original parts and replaced by a new white concrete monument with the highly impressive.

3 .- Do not tear down the stone wall of the parapet to be replaced by a steel handrail, as it is in many cases and other original elements of renovations made over centuries can not separate the added layers of without damaging the original monument.

4 .- In the area that the parapet has no paved floor, find the most appropriate and inclusive in terms of materials and treatment to be applied, avoiding the use of concrete slabs and metal railings that will impact the environment and the rest of the monument.

5 .- Respect and not down the stairs of S. XVII that exists in the car door, well documented in ancient drawings, and made with reused stone steps of the monument, which gives it great flavor and integration, and not to build in its place a new plant in metal, adding an insert is not allowed by law and absurd to be in perfect condition exists.

6 .- Do not carry storm water pipes through the wall, but drain it below the Gate of Corax and natural way to the river and prevent the moisture in the wall.

7 .- concreting, but archaeological studies and to access appropriate treatment within the Gateway of Corax.

These 7 key considerations that the first phase of rehabilitation of the Fort respect the monument and follow the Heritage Act have not yet been taken into consideration by the authorities concerned, so the clear position of the platform is not start works until it becomes a reformed project containing such aspect that can be solved in a few weeks with good will, it is clear that after waiting for the city of Badajoz for centuries the recovery of its most important monument in a few days not matter, but it matters much that rehabilitation is a success and do well for the pride of the authorities concerned and citizens.

Finally, the Platform calls, once again, the responsibility of the authorities concerned (Central Government, Board and City Council), so that these important considerations will be accepted before the commencement of works, because then it would be very difficult to rectify and problems come at a crucial landmark for the city, for the entire region and for Spain, which deserves the utmost respect, sensitivity and affection in his recovery.

MINVU Hopefully the material does not eradicate its misuse .. Staff Report

In a recent article in the newspaper El Mercurio, April 3, states that the "exclusion Minvu could approve new construction "....¿ adobe is finally estigamntizar a material intended for poor constructive application maintenance may I collapsed in the earthquake last?.
Let's be fair, it is true that impacts see hundreds of semi crumbling adobe buildings in the central area of \u200b\u200bthe country, but it is equally true that what I play monitor cadastre of damage in a commune in Colchagua, in all cases the collapses were due to bad design and construction of neglect in maintenance.
Also I had seen in the same area, hundreds, hundreds of reinforced masonry buildings collapsed, semi deru or serious harm, and also why not let us make bricks stigmatizing. This is because in these cases also, it was clear the bad structural design or improper construction of the project.
If constructed properly, Adobe together with the timber are more sustainable materials with which they can count on. In production is minimal power requirements, and transportation tends to zero. There is much literature on the subject highlighting Bonadan as a component of construction material destined for housing, and without going very far left your knowledge experience pilot, which was developed by the same MINVU in 1996 to create the collective rural subsidy and with greater resources. This experience was also a fundamental element in its design, the recovery of specific aspects of rural vernacular architecture of the central region, which also is incorporated as a material integral adobe brick walls, and have been very successful results to the seismic shock, and when they have maintained consistency in the use of materials on the cases that have undergone third-party interventions.
I leave for review, a presentation prepared during the 2 nd Iberomaericano Seminar and Workshop on rural housing and quality of life in rural settlements, held in the city of San Luis Potosi in Mexico in 2000. Hopefully
MINVU not eradicate a material misuse.

USACH in Peralillo Cadastre for the generation of damage. Reconstruction

USACH The Rector of Don Juan Manuel Zolezzi meets with volunteers from the University.

committed

Start: March 8, 2010; term: March 13 , 2010

The team of sixteen professionals and students of Architecture and Engineering USACH, headed by Professor of Architecture Carlos Muñoz Parra, and composed of the ex - students, current Architects Gladys Castillo, Gonzalo Layza, Joseph Architecture students Aguirre, Gabriela Ruilova, Diego Escobar, Camilo Verdejo, Cristian Barjas, Oriana Palacios, the former Engineering student - USACH David Velazquez, the Engineering students Erwin Contreras, Joseph Hernandez, Pablo Gomez, Jorge Caiseo, Alexander Diaz, and the Tech student Felipe González became the commune of Peralillo, Colchagua Province, Region O "higgins at 21:45 am on Monday, March 8, 2010.

immediately above, develop a professional team meeting of the Municipal Works Department of the municipality, the Civil Constructor Arturo Mujica and Architecture graduate Andrés Pérez, with whom they agree how to work for the implementation of the chips cadastre USACH provided to the College of Architects and designed by MINVU to establish the dimensions of the damage to buildings.

begin withdrawing This establishes a set of plans and location of the blocks to undertake the task, the next day, March 9 at 9 am at the offices of the municipality. This work to develop en cinco equipos de tres integrantes cada uno, cuidando de que en cada caso se contara con al menos un Arquitecto o un Ingeniero, asegurando la interdisciplina de las evaluaciones.

Se plantea de común acuerdo con los profesionales del DOM, comenzar el trabajo por Peralillo centro, complementando la labor que ya estaba realizando otro equipo proveniente de otra Universidad. Así se deja para concluir el proceso la localidad de Población, sector de la comuna distante 7 kilómetros al poniente del centro. Posteriormente nos reunimos con el Alcalde de la Comuna de Peralillo, Sr. Gerardo Cornejo con el objeto de tener una opinión de la primera autoridad comunal sobre los aspectos más relevantes a considerar en el desarrollo del catastro de damage, which would carry out the USACH, concluding that it was essential to try to identify the best repair and reconstruction, to avoid disarms that ultimately would be detrimental to the image of the Commune in the context of the Colchagua Valley linked to identity assets that had the district, referring to those buildings which were somehow part of local identity, for which it expressed its concern to rescue the maximum of these they had technically viable to rebuild.
On domestic issues, we were welcomed by the municipality in a boarding school that was working for the volunteers who had come so far and who was also the headquarters of the Army company that supported the work of the emergency in the district. Moreover, food, consisting of three meals a day, was provided by the municipality through JUNAEB, which was delivered in a nearby school to boarding school.
In the pursuit of communal land register covering both urban localities in the commune, Peralillo center, and Population. The latter location was particularly sensitive, since the damage was overwhelming, and that on Thursday March 11 were making our work within the buildings of the town, we were surprised by the replica noon. Given the magnitude of it and the fear of a regrettable incident, I decided to suspend operations for the rest of the evening.
This gap in the activities, we leave a small balance of unresolved land registry in this location the next day, counting in all cases with a high percentage of work completed, which is summarized as follows:

Peralillo Centre, a total charge of 16 blocks were carried out approximately 97% of the cadastre of buildings.
population, a total of about 10 blocks in charge, were held approximately 88% of the cadastre of buildings.

Additionally, I proceeded to perform a general visual inspection of a housing yet to receive, for the Housing Solidarity Fund 1, the Housing Committee "Cristo Joven", managed by the EGIS (Social Property Management Entity) of the municipality and funded by SERVIU, together with the team in charge of the Directorate of Public Works Municipal, headed by the Director, Civil Constructor Arturo Mujica Architecture and Andrés Pérez graduated. Subsequently, on March 10 afternoon, I met on site with the Regional Director SERVIU to inform my assessment of the damage they had the works.

All reports of damage were converted to digital, and delivered to the land registry office that keeps Architecture and the paper backs who developed the volunteers in the field. This information is also sent to the DOM Peralillo, which already has a chance to make some decisions based on the information gathered. Location
interesting about this work is that part of our activities were known by SELAVIP professionals, which is linked to a Roof for Chile, and in conjunction with the organization Habitat for Humanity ", generate a reconstruction project for Peralillo, participatory nature, which would focus on population with European and local contributions, this information was delivered to the undersigned by the Priest Director of Jos Van SELAVIP der Rest and the architect of the program, Mrs. Joan Mac Donald. Such work would begin in early May this year, and will involve students in Architecture practice in the process. This already shows a particular use of the information collected for the benefit of the residents affected by such human settlements in the Colchagua Valley.
