Projektbeschreibung

The work on Cassia Coop Training Centre started during the autumn of 2010. It all began with a visit from a French businessman, Patrick Barthelemy. He had come all the way from Sumatra to our office in Trondheim, and sat before us with a fascinating story and a briefcase full of cinnamon. Part of the story told of how an area of Sumatra supplies 85 % of the cinnamon consumed worldwide. Yet another and more sinister part of the story concerned workers without rights, underpaid and working long days in unsafe and unsanitary factories. The story made an impression on us. After a year of planning we found ourselves deep within the cinnamon forests of Sumatra, ready to design and build a sustainable cinnamon school for local farmers and workers.

Cassia Coop Training Centre has become a unique centre with ambitions of being better than its competitors, not only in qualty, but first and foremost in ethics. The centre wishes to set a new standard in how to run a socially well functioning enterprise; local farmers and workers will receive proper payment, a decent healthcare program and have access to schools and education. In addition, the factories of Cassia Coop will be sanitary and safe.

The main idea behind the project is the classic consept of a light wooden construction on a base of heavy brick and concrete. The wooden construction gives a feeling of being within a cinnamon forest. Cassia Coop Training Centre is built around a pair of mighty durian trees, with a scenic view of the beautiful Kerinci-lake in the front and with its back towards lush cinnamon forest. A major challenge has been to create a naturally ventilated climate beneath a roof surface of no less than 600 square meters. Knowledge and experience gained in former projects have greatly aided us in achieving this, through the use of thermal mass, reduction of sunrays and maximized eaves.

The project is mainly constructed from the use of two materials; locally crafted brick and the trunk of the cinnamon tree. The trunks are a by-product from the cinnamon production and it has a low status among the locals. This low status, however, seem quite undeserved, and so we chose to utilize the trunks in everything from the main construction to the interior of the centre. The finesse of craftsmanship found on, amongst other things, the doors and windows of the centre, is some of the most impressive we have witnessed during our projects.

The main construction consists of a mass produced Y-pillar, bolted down into a concrete footing. The placement of the pillars subordinates to the floor-plans, while the system of the construction secures tightness and rigidity. Underneath the massive roof surface we find five brick buildings, amongst them a small laboratory, classrooms, offices and a kitchen.

In a project of this size, with a short timeframe of three months, logistics will present itself as one of the major challenges. With seventy workers taking part, eight water buffaloes hauling trees from the forest and an on-site sawmill, project management becomes essential. The entire project is made up of ten simple details. Basic and pragmatic approach to design made it possible to realize this project with an untrained workforce.

Another major challenge of building in this area is the frequent earthquakes. The construction has already survived several quakes reaching over five on the Richters scale. This proves that the idea of separating different building components with different material frequency works. Cassia Coop Training Centre has passed the test of the forces of nature. We hope and believe it will also fulfil its ambition of giving the local farmers and workers a safe, sanitary and socially sustainable workplace.

Cassia Coop Training Centre was completed on the first of October 2011.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Arbeidet med Cassia Coop Training Centre startet høsten 2010. Det hele begynte med et besøk fra den franske forretningsmannen Patrick Barthelemy. Han hadde tatt veien helt fra Sumatra til vårt kontor i Trondheim, og satt foran oss med en fascinerende fortelling og en koffert full av kanel. Deler av fortellingen handlet om hvordan et område i Sumatra står for 85 % av all kanelproduksjon, og med dette er verdens suverent største produsent av det populære krydderet. Den mindre hyggelige delen av fortellingen handlet om rettighetsløse og underbetalte arbeidere som tilbringer lange dager i dunkle, ulykkesutsatte fabrikker. Historien gjorde inntrykk på oss. Etter et år med planlegging befant vi oss dypt inne i Sumatras kanelskoger, klare for å tegne og bygge en bærekraftig kanelskole for lokale bønder og arbeidere.

Cassia Coop Training Centre har blitt et unikt senter med ambisjoner om å være bedre enn sine konkurrenter, ikke bare på kvalitet, men først og fremst på etikk. Bedriften ønsker å sette en ny standard for hvordan man kan drive en sosialt velfungerende bedrift; lokale bønder og arbeidere skal få skikkelige lønninger, et ordentlig helsetilbud og tilgang på skole og utdanning. I tillegg skal Cassia Coop sine fabrikker fokusere på sikkerhet og hygiene.

Hovedidéen bak prosjektet er et klassisk grep med en lett trekonstruksjon over en tung base av betong og tegl. Trekonstruksjonen gir en følelse av å befinne seg inne i en kanelskog. Cassia Coop Training Centre er bygget rundt to mektige duriantrær, med utsikt over den vakre Kerinci-innsjøen i front og med kanelskogen i ryggen. En av hovedutfordringene var å skape et naturlig ventilert klima inne under den 600 kvadratmeter store takflaten. Her har vi fått bruk for kunnskap og erfaringer fra tidligere prosjekter, blant annet bruk av termisk masse, reduksjon av solstråling og maksimert takutstikk.

Prosjektet er hovedsaklig konstruert av to materialer; lokalprodusert teglstein og stammen fra kaneltrærne. Trestammene er et restprodukt fra kanelproduksjonen og har lav status blant lokalbefolkningen. Materialets lave status er ufortjent, og vi valgte å bruke det i alt fra hovedkonstruksjon til interiør. Håndverkspresisjonen vi finner på blant annet vinduene og dørene i sentret er blant det ypperste vi har sett gjennom våre prosjekter.

Hovedkonstruksjonen består av en masseprodusert Y-søyle, boltet ned i en stor såle av betong. Søylenes plassering underordner seg planløsningen, samtidig som konstruksjonssystemet sikrer en stram og rigid konstruksjon. Under den enorme takflaten finner vi fem frittstående teglbygninger, med blant annet et lite labratorium, undervisningslokaler, kontorer og kjøkken.

I et prosjekt av denne størrelsen, med en kort tidsramme på tre måneder, vil logistikk bli en av de største utfordringene. Med 70 arbeidere på byggeplassen, åtte vannbøfler som henter trær fra skogen og et eget sagbruk på byggeplassen, blir god prosjektstyring essensielt. Hele prosjektet består av 10 enkle detaljer. Enkel og pragmatisk design gjør det mulig å bygge prosjektet kun med ufaglærte arbeidere.

En av hovedutfordringene med å bygge i dette området er de hyppige jordskjelvene. Konstruksjonen har så langt overlevd flere jordskjelv over fem på Richters skala. Dette viser at idéen om å separere ulike bygningskomponenter med ulik materialfrekvens fungerer. Cassia Coop Training Centre har bestått naturkreftenes test. Vi håper og tror at det også vil leve opp til ambisjonene om å gi lokale bønder og kanelarbeidere en trygg, sanitært forsvarlig og ikke minst sosialt bærekraftig arbeidsplass.

Cassia Coop Training Centre sto ferdig 01. oktober 2011.
