BOTIJO "La Siesta"

 Ciao a tutti!

Io ho deciso di fare un tipo di anfora molto conosciuta nel mio paese. Vi faccio vedere cos'è e poi come è stata costruita.

IL BOTIJO

The Spanish botijo is a water bottle made of unglazed earthenware that cools the water it contains by evaporation. It is a very environmentally friendly way of cooling, which has proved to be successful during hundreds of years. How does the botijo work? The water is partly absorbed by the unglazed walls of the botijo. When the water reaches the surface, the water molecules with a high energy level manage to escape. In this way, the average energy level, which defines the temperature of the water, drops, and the water cools down till it reaches the dew point. In average kitchens this is at about 12º C. 12º

LA SIESTA

A water jug made in white terracotta, which combines the appearance of a plastic water bottle with the advantages of the traditional “botijo” (an earthenware drinking jug with a spout and handle). A different way of drinking.

The growing interest in health and diet lead us to think about the huge amount water, bottled in plastic, which is consumed every day in homes, work places and in peoples free time. Our aim was to maintain intact its properties and improve its conditions during the day using ecologically friendly materials.

 COSTRUZIONE

Il botijo artigianalmente viene modelato per rivoluzioni e così ho fatto anch'io con Revit. Lascio che l'immagini raccontino:

Ecco la famiglia "botijo"

La prossima volta pubblicherò anche il proyect con delle modifiche parametriche.

A presto!
