13 URBANISM GENERAL After doing the reaserch of the site, we found out that our goal should not be just in making high technology houses with great energy efficiency. We are implanting new settlement in existing envirionment, which should connect and improve living conditions of those who already live in surroundings. Observations: - lack of public program - need for improved public transport - lack of entertainment and sport facilities - lack of cultural events RIGHT/ After analysing the morphology of wider area, we implied form of clusters, which is present in soroundings. BELLOW/ abstract section showing partition of the programme, depending on the terrain. HOUSES AGRICULTURES CLUSTERS HOUSES FOREST The form of cluster provides increased residential density with inner, common green area, to which we added public program (common facilities). cluster Clusters provide: cluster cluster program vineyard public program ABOVE/ organization of clusters cluster program public program common green area vineyard vineyard public program cluster cluster program - reduced land take becouse dwellings are more densified - increased opportunities for nontransport energy saving becouse of possibility for common electrical, waste and water infrastructure - reduced space required for roads and car parking makes community more pedestrian friendly - common facilities dinning and living room with small library and community center.

14 URBANISM INFRASTRUCTURE A sustainable village should reduce the need to travel; where travel is necessary, opportunities to walk, cycle and use public transport should be maximised. Walking and cycling in particular should be encouraged. This not only reduces pollution but is also an important element of building community cohesion; a neighbourhood within which people feel comfortable walking will facilitate more social interaction. We added minimal road infrastructure only to connect clusters to the existing road. At first we considered of implieing additional connecting road but after rethinking, we decided not to add it to enhance pedestrian activity and social interaction so people would rather walk from cluster to cluster, than drive by car. Our infrastructure provides: decreased amount of space between clusters for vehicles and maximise space for pedestrians, pedestrian roads are programed car free clusters, public transport is available and access to shops and other facilities is possible by walking or cycling. This creates a residential environment within which public space is more user friendly in general and child friendly in particular.

15 SOCIAL ASPECT Ideally, settlements in rural areas and neighbourhoods in urban areas should be made to function as a community. We tried to make sense to public-private relationships, offer access to services, provide infrastructure, shops, entertainment, employment and facilitate the creation and maintenance of supportive social networks. We tried to provide mixed community in different aspects (income levels, family types and age groups). PROGRAMME Sport and recreation: - Trim path in the forrest and new pedestrian connection between clusters - Fitness and sauna center - Pedestrian connections Culture: - Community center - Old farm house transformed in museum/coffey bar Infrastructure: - 2 bus stations - Parking lots with solar panels - Pedestrian connections - Shop agriculture Redidental: - 26 houses - Common dinning room - 2 common living rooms cluster RIGHT/ organization of clusters sport & turists

16 URBANISM MICROAMBIENTS A sense of place The use of landmarks, vistas and focal points along with the incorporation of existing features and buildings or imaginative landscaping and public art to give new urban areas a unique character. ABOVE/ old farm house, transformed in museum/coffey bar with added terace ABOVE/ walking path, connecting clusters ABOVE/ turist house in forest

18 TECHNOLOGY WHOLE AREA biogas tank vegetational wastewater treatment plant compost tank This is common view of technologic solutions. It is shown on three levels: house, cluster and whole area level. waste segregation

19 CLUSTER ONE HOUSE fotovoltaic panels for electricity underground water tank rain water collector water cleaning system heating pump fotovoltaic parking spaces, for charging cars

20 TECHNOLOGY Technology is a very important tool which helps us to achieve sustainable development where we deal with ecology and ecosystems. Main subjects are energy, water, transport and agriculture systems which are integrated to maximize use of local resources to the greatest extent, including the use of waste streams from these systems. The concept of technologies in our project is to: - use renewable resources (sunlight, wind, rain, fertilisers...) to provide electricity and water supplies - reduce and recycle of waste We have explaied the system of technology in our village on the house, cluster and village level with schemes and on the master plan. HOT WATER 10.5% ELECTRIC APARATURES 6.6% COOKING 3.7% LIGHTING 1.4% HEATING 77.8% producing biogas heating pump waste segregation SUSTAINABLE TECHNOLOGY solar energy collecting rainwater and underground water cleaning water ABOVE/ energy consumption sheme ABOVE/ sustainable technology

21 ELECTRICITY To provide house with electricity we use solar panels, demensions 0.9x1.6m, which produce 250W. One family needs 3-4kW electricity, so we need 16 panels per house. Electricity goes from solar panels into house mains and is than saved in batteries. Excessive electricity goes to local electric infrastructure. 1 fotovoltaic panel produces W 1.6m 1 family needs 3-4kW 0.9m batterie 1 house need 16 panels electric infrastructure ABOVE/ fotovoltaic system for electricity fotovoltaic panels RIGHT/ system of parkings with canopy. On canopy there are fotovoltaic panels which produce electricity from which the cars are charged.

22 TECHNOLOGY WATER We get drinking water mainly from rain water and if this is not enough, we get it from underground water. This water is used for showering, cooking, cleaning,... The waste of this water goes to the cleaning system of gray water. This is the tank with three ventricles in which water is being cleaned by compresed air and UV light. Refined water is used for toilet flushing. Than all the sewerage goes to vegetational waste water treatment plant. rain water UV light tank for drinking water overflow compressed air clean water sewerage to vegetational waste water treatment plant underground water ABOVE/ sheme of water system

23 All the sewerage from clusters goes to vegetational waste water treatment plant. This is a natural cleaning system. Size of the plant depends on number of people (2.5 m2 on one people), in our case this plant would have around 500m2. This cleaning system have different beds. First is settler bed, next to is compost bed, where we get compost. Than the water is cleaned trough the filter bed, cleaning bed, polishing bed and in the end clean water come to the pool for the multupurpose of water. From this pool we can use water for watering fields, extinguishing fire,... The overflow of the water goes back to the ground. This system is very good because you don t need local sewerage cluster for watering compost sewerage compost bed settler filter bed cleaning bed polishing bed multi-purpose pool of water ABOVE/ vegetational wastewater treatment plant RIGHT/ scheme shows how to use the sunlight as a reflection from the water to interior of the house. Water also evaporates and makes better air climate in the house. The threes in front of the house work as wind barriere. reflection evaporation wind bariere

24 TECHNOLOGY HEATING For heating we use heating pump water/water (118kW), which is sufficient for up to 10 houses. It is located in the service facillity of the cluster. Heating pump use drilling hole to access the underground water, from which it gets energy for heating. cluster heating pump water/water (118 kw) (for 10 houses- 11kW per house) water heater drilling hole underground water ABOVE/ concept for house heating

25 WASTE SEGREGATION There are 4 different waste tanks. Bottles, paper and plastic are transported to lacal deponie, organic waste is used for compost and biogas. Compost is used for agriculture. Biogas is possible to be used for cooking, electric generator (can be used for bublic lights) and transport energy. waste segregation deponie biogas compost for transport energy for cooking for electric generator for fertilization ABOVE/ system of waste segregation

26 ARCHITECTURE Typology Typology of the house is simple and very flexible. The basic L shape is composed of the residence part (depository, toilet, kitchen, living room) and master bedroom. To that L shape you can add new volume (children s room, office) in case you need more space
