If you don’t consider the price for the time being, what kind of house would you most like to live in? I don’t think many people would yearn for those cold high-rise buildings! ?
On the contrary, many people have been "imprisoned" in steel and concrete for a long time, and what they yearn for is rural-style housing. When you open the door, you can see courtyards and streets, and when you stay at home, you can hear the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers... Of course, the premise is that it must be built in a city and all modern facilities must be complete! So is there a kind of architecture that can realize these fantasies? This is the "fourth generation housing" we are going to talk about today
What is "fourth generation housing"? According to rumors circulating on the Internet, human housing has gone through three generations to this day. The first generation is thatched house, the second generation is brick house, the third generation is the elevator room where we live now, and the fourth generation is the "sky courtyard house" where man and nature coexist harmoniously. It is said that it was proposed by the Institute of Architecture of Tsinghua University. I remember that I was scrolling like crazy for a while.
This kind of sky courtyard house combines the advantages of suburban villas on the ground and traditional courtyard houses. Each floor has alleys and public courtyards, and each household has a private courtyard and a piece of land, where residents can plant flowers and vegetables, walk dogs and raise birds, and even dance square dances and sing duets! There is more space for activities, and there are more exchanges between neighbors. Say goodbye to the exclusive birdcage life of a single family.
In addition, the parking problem becomes simple. The building is equipped with a car elevator, and each floor has a dedicated parking lot. Residents’ vehicles can be driven to public areas on any floor through the “smart car system”In the courtyard, park in the parking space in front of your home, saving you the trouble of finding a parking space.
Pedestrians will use the roads and elevators in the community to separate pedestrians and vehicles and ensure that there are no vehicles in the community. This not only makes it easier for residents to travel, but also saves the time and effort to build a huge underground parking lot.
However, many people are worried: If our ideals are full, will reality slap us hard? After all, in big cities where every inch of land is at a premium, we ordinary people would have to pay a lot of money to buy an ordinary elevator room, let alone such a high-end courtyard room?
In fact, not necessarily~ According to the calculation of the proposer, the floor area ratio of courtyard houses can be built to 1.0 to 6.0, and the construction cost of those street courtyards and sky parking lots is actually the same as the cost of digging underground parking lots. It’s roughly the same, so “fourth generation housing” is also a house that ordinary people can afford to buy and live in!
Some real estate developers who are eager to try have also announced various types of courtyard houses, which look stylish
Of course, this housing concept has attracted a lot of criticism since it was proposed. Some people say that it is a "vase building" that cannot withstand the test of climate change and strong winds and heavy rains; others question the use of plants. It will bring mosquito nuisance and fire hazard; most importantly, it may add more shared area to the residents. In fact, their concerns are justified. After all, the new generation of housing must undergo long-term testing before it can be popularized.
