La estructura del campamento, es de superadobe, un material que permite de manera sencilla y resistente la forma curva. Consiste en sacos alargados rellenos de tierra humedecida que se van superponiendo y fijando con alambre, lo cual aporta gran resistencia, es frecuente el uso de yeso para evitar la erosión. Después se pueden usar revestimientos como cemento, yeso, o en nuestro caso: caucho reciclado. Además tiene la propiedad de refrigerar el interior en verano y mantener el calor en invierno. Es de fácil y rápida construcción y su propio peso y geometría da gran estabilidad sin usar muchos materiales.

Este material se ha usado en proyectos parecidos como en Presence in Hormoz de ZAV Architects, donde unen una forma semiesfera con una alargada, y Langbos Childrens Center de Jason Erlank Architects. Ambos proyectos se llevan a cabo en lugares con pocos recursos y pobreza, y gracias a estos proyectos se reactivan además de incentivar a la población nativa a usar los materiales locales, como es en este caso la tierra humedecida. Ese mismo objetivo queremos aplicar en Riscos Altos.

Majara Residence, a multipurpose touristic development by Tehran-based ZAV Architects. Mirroring the island’s kaleidoscopic landscape in the form of a colourful cluster of small-scale, rammed-earth domes, the project is part of the Presence in Hormuz series of urban developments aiming to empower the island’s local community.

Presence in Hormuz 2 / ZAV Architects 2020

Community empowerment via urban development, Hormuz Island, Iran - Hormuz is a formerly glorious historic port in the strategic strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf, South of Iran, that controls the shipment of petroleum from the Middle East. The island has outstanding colorful surreal landscapes. Oddly, the local inhabitants of the beautiful, touristic and politically strategic island struggle economically, getting involved in illegal trafficking activities using their boats. Presence in Hormuz is a series of urban developments by a semi-public institution that hired ZAV Architects, in order to empower the local community of the island. Its second phase is a multipurpose cultural residence called Majara residence (meaning adventure) that ties together the lives of local people and visitors both culturally and economically.

Architects Design Brilliantly Colorful Domed Village on Hormuz Island

Hormuz Island sits south of Iran in the Persian Gulf and is often called “rainbow island” in reference to the multicolored sand that makes it a popular tourist spot. In an effort to reflect the colorful landscape and topography, ZAV Architects has designed a small settlement comprising multicolor domes that overlap in interesting combinations to create homes and cultural programs such as laundry services, praying areas, and a café. 

This multipurpose settlement, referred to as Presence in Hormuz, serves as more than just a bright and welcoming accommodation, though—it is the embodiment of a paradigm shift for the community. “The local inhabitants of the beautiful, touristic and politically strategic island,” the architects explain, “struggle economically, getting involved in illegal trafficking activities using their boats.” This urban development project aims to reinvigorate the local economy by utilizing members of the community—craftsmen and unskilled workers alike.
