El Tribunal Internacional de los Derechos de la Naturaleza ha emitido el esperado veredicto sobre el caso del modelo forestal en la región del Biobío, Chile. COMUNICADO DE PRENSA Esta resolución, derivada de su 11° Tribunal Local, celebrado el 12 de enero de 2024 en Concepción, condena el modelo forestal chileno como una grave violación a los Derechos de la Naturaleza, destacando además los daños irreparables sufridos por los ecosistemas, las comunidades locales y el Pueblo Mapuche.  Presidido por el abogado ambientalista argentino Enrique Viale y respaldado por el Fiscal de la Tierra, Ricardo Frez, y en la Secretaría, Natalia Greene, el Tribunal se centró en las consecuencias devastadoras del modelo forestal extractivista y los incendios de 2023, que arrasaron más de 479,000 hectáreas en la región. Durante la audiencia, el importante panel de jueces de renombre, compuesto por Jacqueline Arriagada, Karina Riquelme, Lucio Cuenca, Antonio Elizalde y Claudio Donoso, tuvo la oportunidad de escuchar testimonios conmovedores y pruebas contundentes de de expertos, líderes comunitarios y representantes indígenas, que reflejaron el impacto catastrófico de este modelo forestal. El día previo a la sesión, los jueces del Tribunal realizaron una visita in situ al territorio y recorrieron Agua Amarilla, Coroney, Cerro Neuque, Bosque de Queules, en la comuna de Tomé; y, Patagual, Quetra, la Quebrada y la comuna de Santa Juana; para dialogar con personas afectadas, comunidades y juntas de vecinos, conociendo los monocultivos forestales y constatando de primera mano los impactos del modelo forestal y los incendios en la vida de las personas y de la Naturaleza. También se visitó una reserva de Queule, donde se pudo apreciar la resiliencia de este y otros árboles nativos como el Quillay que resistieron el fuego, así como ejemplos de manejo sostenible del bosque que protege pequeños refugios de vida. El veredicto del Tribunal El Tribunal Internacional de los Derechos de la Naturaleza declaró que el modelo forestal chileno vulnera gravemente los derechos fundamentales de la Naturaleza y los derechos bioculturales del Pueblo Mapuche. Amparándose en la Declaración Universal de los Derechos de la Madre Tierra, el Convenio 169 de la OIT y otros instrumentos internacionales, el Tribunal identificó un conjunto de violaciones sistemáticas: entre ellas, destacan la degradación de ecosistemas críticos como las cuencas hidrográficas del Biobío y la Cordillera de Nahuelbuta y la pérdida de biodiversidad nativa por la expansión de monocultivos forestales, y calificó a estas acciones como crímenes de ecocidio y etnocidio debido a los impactos irreversibles en el agua como fuente de vida y salud integral y en la biodiversidad y su posibilidad de regenerarse.  Asimismo, señaló como responsables directos a las empresas forestales Arauco y CMPC por mantener prácticas de explotación insostenibles que han provocado deforestación masiva y la contaminación del agua, mientras responsabilizó al Estado chileno por su rol activo y negligente al priorizar políticas públicas que favorecen intereses corporativos por encima de la la justicia ambiental y comunitaria. El Tribunal declaró al río Biobío, al árbol queule y a la Cordillera de Nahuelbuta como sujetos de derechos, destacando su importancia ecosistémica, cultural y espiritual para las comunidades locales y el Pueblo Mapuche, y como reparación instó al Estado chileno a implementar un plan integral de restauración de los ecosistemas afectados, garantizar la consulta y participación de los pueblos indígenas, revisar su legislación ambiental y establecer una moratoria sobre la plantación de especies invasoras. También llamó a las empresas forestales a respetar los derechos colectivos de las comunidades, en concordancia con el Acuerdo de Escazú. Impacto internacional Los impactos del modelo forestal chileno reflejan un patrón de explotación extractivista que afecta a diversas regiones de América Latina. Países como Argentina, Brasil y U...

Rama Estudio creates elevated addition for Casa Mirador in Ecuador

Architecture firm Rama Estudio has enlarged a small holiday home in an Ecuadorian forest by adding a glass-and-metal box that extends over the hillside.

Rama Estudio extended Casa Mirador for a family that wanted to spend more time in their holiday home following the coronavirus pandemic.

Rama Estudio extended Casa Mirador in Ecuador

Located in a rural part of Pichincha, a province in the north-central region of Ecuador, the family used the 70-square-metre holiday home for short and sporadic periods of time.

The building contained a bedroom and bathroom, along with a multipurpose space where the family's two daughters would sleep.

The glass extension extends out about a hillside

During the coronavirus pandemic, the owners decided to enlarge the dwelling so they could reside there for longer stretches.

"The specific request was to expand their existing house for social areas, include comfortable and independent bedrooms for the daughters, and take advantage of the view of the site," said Rama Estudio, a firm based in Ecuador's capital, Quito.

"As a special requirement, the work had to start immediately and had to be built in no more than three months."

The glass extension continues an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space

The original home sits on a lush site, at the edge of a hillside overlooking a valley.

For the extension, the firm conceived a single-storey, glazed box that is lifted above the sloped terrain and is supported by a system of metal channels. The roof is covered with greenery.

"We thought about an industrially prefabricated piece that blends well with the environment and subtly sits on the ground, attaching itself to the existing construction," the studio said.

The extension is surrounded by glass walls

By elevating the addition, the team aimed to minimise disturbance to the soil and vegetation.

Moreover, all of the metal components were prefabricated and then assembled on-site, which reduced the construction time. The project was completed within the three-month timeline.

The addition's exterior walls are made of tempered glass.

An underfloor heating system keeps indoor temperatures comfortable without sacrificing the transparency of the facades.

It has views across the forest

Inside, the 120-square-metre addition contains a kitchen, dining area and living room.

All of the fixed furniture was prefabricated. At the heart of the expansion is a multifunctional unit made of plywood and metal.

A multifunctional plywood unit divides the space

On the kitchen side, it holds appliances and cabinetry. On the living room side, it houses a fireplace and storage space, including a spot for firewood. There also is room for a television.

"This central piece of furniture allows for fluid and continuous circulation throughout the space, and for all the installations to be centralized inside this piece," said the studio.

A plywood storage unit divides the extension from the original house

The addition is adjoined to the existing house via a new wall composed of plywood modules, which form shelving and cubbies.

The team also made modifications to the original dwelling. Walls were removed to allow the space to be reconfigured, and select windows were enlarged.

The original house was reconfigured

The space now holds a master suite and a pair of bedrooms for the daughters. For the kids' rooms, the team designed a piece of furniture that houses a desk, Murphy bed and storage space.

The home has a septic tank for wastewater, allowing it to operate without being tied into a sewage system. Stormwater management tactics help ensure rainwater is channelled to the landscape.

Other projects in Ecuador by Rama Estudio include an apartment building in Ambato lined with wooden louvres, and a rural house that consists of two stone-walled volumes with grassy roofs.

We always discuss how important tropical forests are, and they are. But did you know that since the 1600s, in the United States of America, 90% of the original forests have been logged or exploited by humans (Abramovitz 1998). In Europe, forests have been exploited since prehistoric times for various uses such as wood-pasture, agroforestry, and timber woodland (Bergmeier et al. 2010). Nowadays, in Central Europe, only 1% of the original forest remains (Donoso 1997). Such land uses greatly affect species composition and community structure (Gillet 2008)... it is time to make the necessary changes to restore our forests. #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #zerowastehome #zerowastejourney #zerowastelife #zerowasteshopping #zerowastevegan #zerowastekitchen #zerowastegoals #foodwaste #zerofoodwaste #nofoodwaste #nowastedfood #lowwaste #lowwasteliving #lowwastelifestyle #noplastic #noplastic #thewoodlandsartscouncil #thewoodlandswaterwayartsfestival #thewoodlands #thewoodlandstx #houstongarden #houstongardening #organicgarden #zeroplastic #plasticpollution #savethetrees #savetheforests (at The Woodlands, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5sXue5HYuw/?igshid=2jmga2kif4ou

Rama Estudio creates elevated addition for Casa Mirador in Ecuador

Architecture firm Rama Estudio has enlarged a small holiday home in an Ecuadorian forest by adding a glass-and-metal box that extends over the hillside.

Rama Estudio extended Casa Mirador for a family that wanted to spend more time in their holiday home following the coronavirus pandemic.

Rama Estudio extended Casa Mirador in Ecuador

Located in a rural part of Pichincha, a province in the north-central region of Ecuador, the family used the 70-square-metre holiday home for short and sporadic periods of time.

The building contained a bedroom and bathroom, along with a multipurpose space where the family's two daughters would sleep.

The glass extension extends out about a hillside

During the coronavirus pandemic, the owners decided to enlarge the dwelling so they could reside there for longer stretches.

"The specific request was to expand their existing house for social areas, include comfortable and independent bedrooms for the daughters, and take advantage of the view of the site," said Rama Estudio, a firm based in Ecuador's capital, Quito.

"As a special requirement, the work had to start immediately and had to be built in no more than three months."

The glass extension continues an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space

The original home sits on a lush site, at the edge of a hillside overlooking a valley.

For the extension, the firm conceived a single-storey, glazed box that is lifted above the sloped terrain and is supported by a system of metal channels. The roof is covered with greenery.

"We thought about an industrially prefabricated piece that blends well with the environment and subtly sits on the ground, attaching itself to the existing construction," the studio said.

The extension is surrounded by glass walls

By elevating the addition, the team aimed to minimise disturbance to the soil and vegetation.

Moreover, all of the metal components were prefabricated and then assembled on-site, which reduced the construction time. The project was completed within the three-month timeline.

The addition's exterior walls are made of tempered glass.

An underfloor heating system keeps indoor temperatures comfortable without sacrificing the transparency of the facades.

It has views across the forest

Inside, the 120-square-metre addition contains a kitchen, dining area and living room.

All of the fixed furniture was prefabricated. At the heart of the expansion is a multifunctional unit made of plywood and metal.

A multifunctional plywood unit divides the space

On the kitchen side, it holds appliances and cabinetry. On the living room side, it houses a fireplace and storage space, including a spot for firewood. There also is room for a television.

"This central piece of furniture allows for fluid and continuous circulation throughout the space, and for all the installations to be centralized inside this piece," said the studio.

A plywood storage unit divides the extension from the original house

The addition is adjoined to the existing house via a new wall composed of plywood modules, which form shelving and cubbies.

The team also made modifications to the original dwelling. Walls were removed to allow the space to be reconfigured, and select windows were enlarged.

The original house was reconfigured

The space now holds a master suite and a pair of bedrooms for the daughters. For the kids' rooms, the team designed a piece of furniture that houses a desk, Murphy bed and storage space.

The home has a septic tank for wastewater, allowing it to operate without being tied into a sewage system. Stormwater management tactics help ensure rainwater is channelled to the landscape.

Other projects in Ecuador by Rama Estudio include an apartment building in Ambato lined with wooden louvres, and a rural house that consists of two stone-walled volumes with grassy roofs.

Inside, the 120-square-metre addition contains a kitchen, dining area and living room.

All of the fixed furniture was prefabricated. At the heart of the expansion is a multifunctional unit made of plywood and metal.

On the kitchen side, it holds appliances and cabinetry. On the living room side, it houses a fireplace and storage space, including a spot for firewood. There also is room for a television.

"This central piece of furniture allows for fluid and continuous circulation throughout the space, and for all the installations to be centralized inside this piece," said the studio.

The addition is adjoined to the existing house via a new wall composed of plywood modules, which form shelving and cubbies.

The team also made modifications to the original dwelling. Walls were removed to allow the space to be reconfigured, and select windows were enlarged.

The space now holds a master suite and a pair of bedrooms for the daughters. For the kids' rooms, the team designed a piece of furniture that houses a desk, Murphy bed and storage space.

The home has a septic tank for wastewater, allowing it to operate without being tied into a sewage system. Stormwater management tactics help ensure rainwater is channelled to the landscape.

Other projects in Ecuador by Rama Estudio include an apartment building in Ambato lined with wooden louvres, and a rural house that consists of two stone-walled volumes with grassy roofs.

Rama Estudio creates elevated addition for Casa Mirador in Ecuador

Architecture firm Rama Estudio has enlarged a small holiday home in an Ecuadorian forest by adding a glass-and-metal box that extends over the hillside.

Rama Estudio extended Casa Mirador for a family that wanted to spend more time in their holiday home following the coronavirus pandemic.

Located in a rural part of Pichincha, a province in the north-central region of Ecuador, the family used the 70-square-metre holiday home for short and sporadic periods of time.

The building contained a bedroom and bathroom, along with a multipurpose space where the family's two daughters would sleep.

The glass extension extends out about a hillside

During the coronavirus pandemic, the owners decided to enlarge the dwelling so they could reside there for longer stretches.

"The specific request was to expand their existing house for social areas, include comfortable and independent bedrooms for the daughters, and take advantage of the view of the site," said Rama Estudio, a firm based in Ecuador's capital, Quito.

"As a special requirement, the work had to start immediately and had to be built in no more than three months."

The glass extension continues an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space

The original home sits on a lush site, at the edge of a hillside overlooking a valley.

For the extension, the firm conceived a single-storey, glazed box that is lifted above the sloped terrain and is supported by a system of metal channels. The roof is covered with greenery.

"We thought about an industrially prefabricated piece that blends well with the environment and subtly sits on the ground, attaching itself to the existing construction," the studio said.

The extension is surrounded by glass walls

By elevating the addition, the team aimed to minimise disturbance to the soil and vegetation.

Moreover, all of the metal components were prefabricated and then assembled on-site, which reduced the construction time. The project was completed within the three-month timeline.

The addition's exterior walls are made of tempered glass.
