Maduze, okuzoba yisakhiwo sokhuni eside kunazo zonke eNyakatho Melika sisakhiwa e-University of British Columbia (UBC). Enye yezindawo ezintsha zomhlaba "ezingamabhilidi enziwe ngokhuni," ikhombisa lokho
ukhuni olunobungani bemvelo lungasetshenziswa njengohlaka lokwakha izakhiwo ezinkulu ngokwezomnotho nangokuphepha njengokhonkolo oluncane lwemvelo, ingilazi nensimbi.

Elinye lamathuluzi abalulekile kukho kokubili ukwakhiwa nokwakhiwa kwayo kuzoba ucingo lwengqungquthela.

Le phrojekthi yahlanganisa abalingani abayishumi nambili, futhi yahlanganyela nethimba labaklami emazwenikazi amaningana. Inani elimangalisayo lolwazi elidingekayo hhayi nje ukuthi kwabelwane ngalo, kodwa kusetshenzwe kulo ngenqubo yokuhlanganyela.

Njengephrojekthi entsha ngaphansi kwesibonakhulu esisesidlangalaleni, indawo yokuhlala ayikwazanga ukukhokhela amaphutha.

Iphrojekthi iyisibonelo esihle sokuthi izingcingo zezingqungquthela zingasiza kanjani ukugcina ithimba lezinhlaka eziningi lixhumekile kuphrojekthi eyimpumelelo.

Isakhiwo Sezinkuni Eside Kunazo Zonke eNyakatho Melika

Lapho kuvulwa indawo yokuhlala yabafundi yaseTall Wood Building enezitezi eziyi-18 ngoSepthemba 2017, izoba ikhaya labafundi abangama-400 ezitudiyo ezingama-272 kanye namayunithi angama-33 anamagumbi amane okulala. Abanye babafundi abahlala esakhiweni sezinkuni esingamamitha angama-53 bazobe benza ucwaningo lokuqapha ukusebenza kwebhilidi.

Indawo yokuhlala ithuthukise ukuvikeleka komlilo, futhi bekuyisizinda sebhilidi sokuqala e-BC ukuhlangabezana nemithetho emisha Yekhodi Yokwakha Kazwelonke ka-2015 ukuze kuncishiswe umonakalo ekuzamazameni komhlaba.

Izingcingo zenkomfa zigcina amaqembu emikhakha eminingi exhumekile

Ngenxa yokuthi umqondo we-skyscraper yamapulangwe uguquguquka kakhulu futhi uzinzile, iphrojekthi yakhanga abalingani abaningi bezimali kubandakanya; Izinsiza Zezindlu ze-UBC, i-Binational Softwood Lumber Council, Forestry Innovation Investment, Natural Resources Canada, kanye noMnyango Wezamahlathi wakwa-BC.

Ithimba labaklami bemikhakha eminingi ngokufanayo belilikhulu kakhulu kunasemiklameni yokwakha ejwayelekile.

Liholwa i-Acton Ostry Architects ye-Vancouver, ithimba lifake ochwepheshe bezinkuni abade base-Austrian Architects U-Hermann Kaufmann, isikhungo socwaningo lomkhakha wamahlathi waseCanada ongenzi nzuzo, I-FPInnovations, onjiniyela bezakhiwo bendawo Fast + Epp, izitifiketi ze-LEED, nenqwaba yezohwebo, bonke ababedinga ukwabelana ngolwazi olubalulekile ngendlela yokuhlanganyela.

Ukudluliswa kolwazi nokukhiqizwa kwemibono

Omunye wemiqondo eyinhloko ye-UBC's Tall Wood Building kwakuwukuthi ingaqhudelana nezinto ezivamile zesakhiwo ngesisekelo sezindleko.

Babengakwazi njalo ukukhokhela izindleko zokuthutha onjiniyela base-Austrian kanye noNgqongqoshe bezifundazwe abamatasa beze emihlanganweni.

Nokho ulwazi oludingekayo ukuze ludluliselwe ngokunembile, futhi ngaphezu kwalokho, babedinga indlela yokusebenzisana, yezindlela ezimbili, yesikhathi sangempela lapho ulwazi olungahluziwe lwalungashintshaniswa khona, luqedwe, futhi lwenziwe umklamo umhlaba ongakaze uwubone ngaphambili.

Izinzuzo zezingcingo zezingqungquthela

Izingcingo zenkomfa kanye namaqembu emiklamo ehlukahlukene ahambisana kahle ngenxa yezici zokuxhumana ezinikezwa yizingcingo zengqungquthela.

1. Shayela irekhodi idala insiza yaphakade yemihlangano, futhi irekhode izinqumo ezenziwe, ikhiqize ngokuzenzakalelayo ifayela le-MP3 phakathi namahora amabili elingalotshwa ukuze lisetshenziswe kamuva njengamaminithi noma izinto zokukhishwa kwezindaba.
2. Ukwabelana Ngesikrini futhi Inkomfa yewebhu zingamathuluzi abalulekile amaciko abonakalayo afana nabadwebi bezakhiwo nonjiniyela ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ulwazi olufanayo luphambi kwawo wonke umuntu.
3. I-Crystal Clear Audio. Izingcingo zengqungquthela zangempela ngomakhalekhukhwini noma izingcingo zasendlini ziqeda i-Skype Echo namazwi erobhothi, futhi zisize amalungu eqembu ukuthi ezwe imikhondo ecashile yokuxhumana nabantu abayidingayo ukuze asebenze ngokubambisana.
4. Ukuqondiswa kwevidiyo isiza ukuletha amandla obuso nobuso ngezikhathi ezibalulekile zokwenza izinqumo.

Nakuba izingcingo zezingqungquthela—kanye ne-videoconferencing—zingamahhala, ukonga kwangempela kwephrojekthi kuza ngokonga isikhathi sabasebenzi kanye nokukhiqiza okukhulisiwe. Emhlabeni womhlaba, lapho izinqubo ezihamba phambili zilungiswa kanyekanye kumasayithi amaningi wamazwe ngamazwe, izingcingo zezingqungquthela ziyithuluzi eliphelele lokugcina ulwazi lugeleza nemibono iphuzwa.
