LAVA will fluidly adapt to tomorrow's innovative designs. Creativity is worth encouraging
Step #1:
-
To develop a building system able to match, then exceed, current building systems.
-
Step #1 is complete & gaining popularity
Step #2:
-
To spark the creativity behind new design, new tech, new understanding etc, leading to better & longer-range architectural solutions:
-
To encourage multi-generational, maintenance-free design that captures local energy and rainwater resources and supports local habitation and vegetation.
-
Replace the 30 yr. lifecycle, high-maintenance house, supported by rat-race weeks & fix-it weekends, with a 500 yr. heirloom house generating extra time for rest, recharge and forward oriented creativity
-
Man-made architecture to coordinate with natural rhythms, such as day/night energy and seasonal rain/growth cycles
-
Design innovations made easy by the efficiencies of LAVA's simple building methods
On the horizon:
-
Walls that can be tuned to uniquely respond to exterior orientation and interior use.
-
Technology that allows roofs and walls to be biased toward absorbing cool and resisting heat, or vice-versa.
-
Natural heating and cooling using the day-night cycle; integrating day-night temperatures
