Introduction
This tutorial guides you through the process of building a primitive structure with a pool, inspired by traditional methods showcased in the "Construções Primitivas" video. You'll learn how to use natural materials and ancient techniques to create a sustainable living space in the forest, emphasizing simplicity and resourcefulness.
Step 1: Gather Materials
Start by collecting the necessary materials for your construction. You’ll primarily need:
- Wood: For the frame and structural support.
- Clay or Mud: For walls and insulation.
- Stone: If available, for durability and aesthetics.
- Natural Fibers: Such as vines or grasses for binding.
Practical Tips
- Choose local materials to minimize transportation costs and ecological impact.
- Ensure the wood is dry and free from rot.
Step 2: Create a Foundation
A solid foundation is crucial for stability. Follow these steps:
- Select a Site: Choose a flat area away from water sources to avoid flooding.
- Dig Foundations: Create shallow trenches for the perimeter of your structure.
- Lay Stones or Logs: Position stones or logs in the trenches to create a robust base.
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- Avoid building on sloped land, which can lead to structural instability.
- Ensure the foundation is level to prevent wall distortion.
Step 3: Build the Frame
Construct the frame of your house using wooden beams:
- Vertical Supports: Place vertical logs at each corner and in between.
- Horizontal Beams: Connect the vertical supports with horizontal beams at the top.
- Secure with Natural Fibers: Tie beams together using natural fibers for added strength.
Practical Advice
- Use a level to ensure all beams are straight.
- Consider adding diagonal bracing for extra support.
Step 4: Construct the Walls
Use clay or mud to form the walls:
- Mix Clay and Straw: Combine clay with straw for better insulation and strength.
- Apply Mixture: Pack the mixture between the wooden frame, smoothing it out as you go.
- Allow to Dry: Let the walls dry completely before proceeding.
Real-World Application
- This method provides excellent insulation and can keep the interior cool in summer and warm in winter.
Step 5: Build the Roof
A sturdy roof is essential for protection from the elements:
- Create a Frame: Use wooden beams to create a roof structure.
- Cover with Thatch or Leaves: Use natural materials like thatch or large leaves to waterproof the roof.
- Secure the Roof: Ensure all materials are tightly secured to withstand wind.
Practical Tips
- Choose materials that are readily available and have good waterproofing properties.
Step 6: Construct the Pool
Add a primitive pool for relaxation:
- Choose a Location: Find a spot close to your structure but away from drainage areas.
- Excavate the Area: Dig out a shallow basin to form the pool.
- Line with Clay: Use clay to line the pool, ensuring it can hold water without leaking.
- Add Water: Fill the pool with water from a nearby source, if feasible.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Ensure the pool is deep enough to hold water but not too deep to pose safety risks.
Conclusion
Building a primitive structure with a pool combines traditional techniques with modern needs. By following these steps, you can create a sustainable and functional living space that harmonizes with nature. Consider expanding your project by adding outdoor features like a fire pit or garden. Happy building!
