LA BIO and responsible tourism in URUGUAY
tourism, without thinking about design environmentally friendly construction is not responsible.
So anyone who is clinging to the idea of \u200b\u200bresponsible tourism, both ideas should be associated.
The bio in our country, Uruguay, is linked to our roots, has a strong relationship with our tradition and there is a long way to travel. Unfortunately always reneged on the traditional and sought to imitate Europe by an identity problem. Currently, when Europe biocostrucción used as a valid option, us are paying more.
As an architect I think, to be considered different building systems traditional earth building , coupled with new technologies and new architectural designs. See the world as the most valid in construction is get healthy and money.
The land has the advantage that :
- It is found everywhere. It is reusable and plentiful.
- In history there are buildings that still exist over 3000 years BC as the stores of Ramses, Egypt, the Great Wall of China inside the Pyramid of the Sun in Mexico.
- has thermal properties. You get a comfortable microclimate inside in winter and summer. Retards the entry of heat in summer and slows the entry of cold in winter, due to its high thermal inertia.
- is a material that regulates the relative humidity inside buildings. This keeps ideal relative humidity for maximum comfort. This helps if there is excess moisture in the environment, not to spread fungus and bacteria, which is detrimental to all allergic diseases. Moreover, when there is a deficit of moisture in the interior of a home arise respiratory diseases (dries the lining of the pharynx and trachea).
- is a malleable and easy to work that promotes the self.
- With it you can make innovative and flexible designs. Construction of more than one plant.
- is a material that does not pollute the environment.
In our country there is knowledge of construction techniques on land that should be rescued and value. This type of traditional construction of our Uruguay must be addressed in relation to its surroundings. This also nicely handled in the old buildings of the campaign. Find that the property is self-sustaining.
Find permaculture designs when studying housing and meet their needs also other elements that play in context, such as trees, animals, water sources, energy sources, access, relationships among them, etc ...
I invite you to look for a tourist to show us that cultural heritage is, but that we are ashamed to show, that is ours, which is brought from outside. Let's find our identity. Sticking up eco-lodges that cater to this.
is why ECOTERRÓN GROUP , commitment to projects that meet these parameters. Health, tradition and comfort.
Help us be one in transit ways in which valued the good dialogue with our nature, our surroundings, the more healthy and comfortable, in turn, know our culture. Let's have a Tourism be responsible .
