Bike...! Fire! Bike tires! Fire! Yurt.
[music]
The ancient civilizations knew a lot about the ratio between the room, human and cosmos.
Our whole nature and we ourselves are
built harmonically in relation to the universe.
But when we don't use this knowledge
for building our spaces, and instead
we are just building in that case we are building
from musical standpoint disharmoniously.
And that disharmony, actually leads to a disease-causing (risk) factors.
[music]
To be clear, I'm also not a big fan of
this (modern society) architectural "Utopia" .
Because the architects are the one's generating those ideas.
Talking about Corbusier – he seriously,
at least that's what he said – wanted to
eradicate Paris and put all the people over each other in four huge towers.
That was his wish and that's what he published.
And you can find an enormous amount of such visions, thought of by architects.
And to that I say "The architect is a actually a style dictator"
And he is not ready to connect with the person he is building for;
he wants to "educate" them!
[music]
That is going to be the next step that is going to lead in the direction,
where we already have been 300-400 years ago.
Like the houses that have been built in
the Alps region and are still standing here.
We will get there, once the people
become conscious and realize, that
the cans that they are living in, have a
negative effect on their health and their lives.
It will still take some time. This (round house) is kind of a transitory solution.
People find it beautiful and at same time it is real wood
and has smooth surfaces, what is more pleasant to the eye.
[music]
People see this thing standing here,
they see the construction
are curious and want to know what it actually is.
It is definitely a pioneering work.
It is totally a pioneering work.
To be precise, he said:
"Again, there is a tipi standing in the forest!"
And the other one, the one who knew more said proudly to the farmer:
"It is not a tipi!
The tipi is from the Indians and the yurt is from the Mongols."
A new day is about to start
and we are here in south of Germany at the Chiemsee,
where Claudius Kern – one of the pioneers in constructing yurts in german speaking area,
is holding a 10 day seminar for how to build a mobile yurt.
Very different people gathered here,
but all of them a sharing the same dream – and that is "round living".
After this ten days a complete yurt should be staying here.
That is a good thing about the yurt –
you need people that can support you and will join you to help in building
and would be able to contribute.
It is a collaborative project.
And that is the future for us humans.
To start living in communities again.
Because this cocooning -
everybody for himself and encapsulated.
It is not good for the youth, it is not good for the old people.
In long terms it is also not really good for the ones in between.
It is not really something life fostering.
And all people somehow belong together.
It can't happen compulsive, but on voluntary basis, so people can find each other and connect.
Because it's just in our nature.
And that's why I think – that the yurt, and everybody having their own place
or their own building that one can create;
doesn't matter how – according ones own imagination,
and then can live in it. That brings a different connection
to the land on that it is standing and it brings a different connection to the building
in that you are living and how you are living.
For me, it is the first step -
I get to know the people
that either are working with it or living in it.
I try then to experience it myself.
In this case we started
with the workshop.
We could also started living in an already existing yurt.
It also could be a direction, but now it developed this way.
I am really exited what will come out that building seminar.
Because it is also interesting - what kind of people gathered here?
Well and I really like it if you decide to
go to a seminar, because it is a possibility
to connect it again to reality.
And now you can say - yeah, there are more people that are feeling the same way I do.
Or the one wants it one way and the other one differently.
Wow – there are so many possibilities.
I think it just totally widens the horizon.
[music]
The first step was the birth of the first child.
It is the time, where one comes to think about it -
how one wants to live in the future?
Where should one go?
What do one wants for oneself?
What do one wants for the kids?
After that we had a detour to Portugal.
Where we had the first contact
with a yurt.
We liked their way of life, the closeness to nature and the circular.
Well and the next step was actually already the seminar with Claudius Kern.
Where we kind of got the feeling for it -
what it means to build a yurt,
in the first version that was the latest - a straw bale yurt.
And the next step was already – let's do it.
And then we were already building the first yurt; on weekends in free time.
We completed and started living in it.
[music]
Leafs!
Our learning association is called "Waldeulen" - association for nature connected learning.
The initiative to found this association came up,
because after the forest kindergarten
I was searching for a suitable school for my son
and could't find one.
And therefore I decided afterwards
to teach my son at home -
but at the same time in the forest.
And then we found that property,
and I contacted Claudius Kern.
He drew plans for a place, where one can learn in a nice and cozy atmosphere.
So after that we built together with him in a workshop this yurt.
And now, the kids are already learning here.
[music]
Well, it started long time ago - it was in the beginning of the 80th.
Back than I saw a slide lecture
about Mongolia
and I saw the yurts and it was
actually like love at first sight.
I had a thought: "I have to get one!"
Only in 2000 it started happening
- I did not go searching for a flat,
instead I just put my sleeping bag in our tree nursery,
in the garage and started building inside the garage.
A garage-yurt.
After excavating I said – alright,
a double floor yurt would fit in here as well.
So I first build one floor,
though I had a place to live and I moved in.
In the next year, so beginning 2001
I built the second floor – the actual yurt with folding fence and so on.
And obviously I made my own experiences.
That yurt I insulated with sheep's wool – the sheep's wool fleece.
[music]
Claudius is doing it now
for many, many years.
And we used to visit him, when he was living in Graz,
when he was living in his double floor yurt.
That he gave up now.
And we had some conversations and discussions about the round housing ideas.
The round living or the round life started,
I think, as I was still a child.
When we started building huts and such things in garden and on trees and so on.
And as a child I realized that building circular is way easier.
The round form makes the building process easier, even back then,
without me being conscious or without me seeing it.
Furthermore it was naturally influenced
through the study of architecture and building engineer.
I dealt a lot with different buildings and over and over again I came upon the round form.
After that I traveled to Mongolia,
where I lived half a year only in round buildings,
in travel yurts and also in permanent yurts,
that they constructed for they winter stock.
And when I came back - it was around 2005 or 2006.
I couldn't stand being in squared rooms
or I noticed the difference.
And started intensively dealing with the yurts.
After that I started myself living in different round buildings
- over time periods those were tipis,
traveling yurts and also Mongolian yurts,
and somehow I decided for the massive wooden yurt for our climate here.
[music]
One can get anything on internet,
all kind of information that one needs.
Well, I saw it and somehow -
I fell in love with the yurt.
I was never inside a yurt,
and until now haven't been in another one.
I informed myself about materials
and very soon I realized that I would like to have a wooden yurt.
It should be something durable
I can't imagine that the insulation in a normal yurt
that you can buy -
is that good.
I wanted to have something natural. The insulation should be good, to keep the warmth.
Accidentally I came in contact with Hans-Georg.
And I wrote to him about what I imagined,
and he said - "Sure, it is no problem, we can realize that."
That is how I came to the yurt.
Actually I never intended to build a house.
But then I started dealing with the circle
and the symbolic meaning of it.
And the meaning is basically wholeness.
As a sculptor you have many ideas and
this became the biggest creation that I realized.
The idea behind it was to create
a cultural soul or to create a room for the soul.
It should be something wholistic with courses and seminars for
kids, young people, music - basically everything that can nurture the soul.
A soul room!
[music]
When you observe the objects in the architecture magazines,
the last thing you will find inside is a human -
maybe a naked woman in a shower advertisement.
But you definitely won't find a human in architecture;
at most that crippled thing by Corbusier's modular -
some bubble gum figure without eyes and mouth – an amoeba.
That's about it; kind of a benchmark figure.
I also don't like that.
I can't share that image of a human. I am coming from a different tradition.
I don't want to change people; I can change myself, but my customer,
he/she is like he/she is and I have to serve him.
There is a certain difference comparing to what I have been taught.
[music]
There is a proverb -
"The one who is lying needs a good memory."
So, I need to remember to whom I have lied,
and how I need to proceed with the lie.
Being involved in lying I have to create more lies
around it, in order to support the lie.
At one point of time, we so to say, drifted in the way we construct buildings.
We lied for the first time
and in order to conceal that lie, we have to attach additional things to the building.
Therefore we have to attach insulation,
but insulation is isolating the house,
so it is not able to breathe any longer.
So now we have to compensate this mistake.
The next lie.
That way we fabricating lies over and over again, until we realize -
Actually, it is quite strenuous - to create so many lies!
We could somehow observe - how is the nature managing it?
That will bring us to more simplistic building structures
and to simpler living concepts.
[music]
Well, it was always my aspiration
and all my research -
Do we really have to build that expensive,
like we are doing it today?
Do we have to build that massive as we do?
And the yurt is considering different views
a quite unique construction.
It appeared in countries, where almost nothing is growing.
They have only sheep, they barely have trees.
In winter it can get over minus 50 C(-58 °F)
and in summer it can be up to 50 ºC (122 °F)..
And they have to live with it.
Therefore it must be, in many aspects, an ingenious construction method.
It is unbelievably fascinating -
how is it possible to create such a building by having such simple resources,
where one can survive in such an extreme climate?
I saw it as highly fascinating.
I thought - if the can do that,
then there is definitely a way for us too
that we can go and where we
could built as close as possible to nature.
And where we - and that is the second result of it;
we could build as cheap as possible.
And then I figured out
that with our materials that I had to find out in that time,
which materials are suitable in our region,
I calculated about 100 Euro for a square meter.
[music]
Specially in the countryside there are a lot
of huge houses from people that built massive;
usually child-rich families.
They have four to five kids – built massively.
And before they could finish building
the kids already left the house.
And the parents stay with a huge house.
They ask themselves - Why did they do that at all?
Because that is how you do it! Right?!
Because it is the main practice! Because that's how you build!
Because you just need it! Because the neighbor is also doing it!
Actually now,
as we came to Claudius,
there is a topic about
creating living space, housing
and also to find the self empowerment.
How can I do it myself?
Because we just noticed that many people around us
they buy one family-houses or are starting to build
and getting into debts; and they have to pay the credit
until they are actually old.
And for me it was actually always important to have freedom.
And freedom mean also to be independent and
to be able take care for myself.
And that's why the living space was always an issue.
I like building and I can imagine things pretty well,
but I am missing the skills to build a house.
That is where the yurt came into my mind.
That is how one can image building
process as a combination of
economy and efficiency, but
also the emotion, representation, showing off!
Maybe a desire to create something very special for his loved one.
So it is always a dangerous process
that one is tempted to overdo
and the tendency is rather towards overdoing as to remaining modest.
[music]
They have a very peculiar way how the build it up.
The way it is functioning – in the east, where the entrance is, they begin;
- they put the door at that place.
After that the four walls – the four directions
are build up clockwise,
the furs are unrolled clockwise.
And the dismantling process is anticlockwise.
That is something that you can find in all cultures.
The sun wheel or the medicin wheel -
clockwise you build up the energy field
and anticlockwise you power down the energy field.
And it naturally affects everything we do.
[music]
The yurt is an unique construction that is representing the cosmos and at the same time
is a micro cosmos in itself.
The roof represents the sky vault,
the crown represents the sun,
the pillars in the middle embody the world tree
that is maintaining the connection between the sky and earth.
The rods that are connecting from the walls to the middle
have not only one function.
Those are also clock hands of a sundial,
because the entering sunbeams from above are showing quite precisely how late it is.
Here, in the middle is also the place for the oven.
This place makes already sense because
the warmth is proportionally distributed
and the exhaust gases can move upward.
At the same time it is a holy and symbolic place.
It is the fire in the middle of a microcosmos.
Here in the heart of the yurt is the place where all the elements unite -
like the fire, earth, water and air.
Therefore the yurt was considered to be a living being
and was worshipped.
[music]
Not only the roundness of it,
not only that the light is coming from above -
it is a very different relation.
Not only that there is a middle
in a circular room;
in a squared room – there is no middle;
one has no orientation.
One is centered in a circular room.
It should help oneself to feel also more centered in such a room.
Back than, I was such a
fresh student from the architecture university.
"I will conquer the world!"
- was my thinking, so to say.
And then I started
observing different yurt builder -
obviously in Mongolia;
how they were building and constructing it.
And I came up with a lot of new ideas.
Let's make a window here a panorama view and this and that.
The walls should be way higher and a lot of such adjustments,
where I was thinking that it would be amazing.
I asked the mongols why they don't have windows in the yurt.
They just have a skylight window; the eye on top.
He simply said -
"Well, if I want to see what's outside, than I would go out, right?!"
He did't understand that you have to look outside while you are inside.
That is why I am going inside, so I can be inside and feel safe and secrure
from everything. Why should I want to look outside?
After a while, when I started drawing the first one,
I came to a realization
that the yurts were built for thousands of years in the same proportions.
The angles, the roof slopes, the openings,
the direction of the door and so on.
And later I also realized that all of that is aligned to Sacred Geometry,
and Golden Ration and
also contains the Flower of Life.
That made me realize the the yurt is already the perfect living space.
You can't make improvements. It's not possible.
I always felt that
round buildings somehow have a
special charisma – for my perception.
Something very protective.
A circle is something so cozy,
it is where you feel so comfortable.
I noticed not feeling good
inside four walls, like we call it.
Now, we have a perfect flat -
it is 65 square meter (700 sq ft) for three of us.
Tree rooms.
And I am noticing about kids -
when they are inside, quite fast
aggression starts coming up. After a very short time
we can't deal with each other to well and the mood is simply
negative, a bad energy.
And to live like that requires a lot of nerves.
And that is why I am searching for alternatives and
I am intuitively convinced
that a yurt or a round building would be a better space to live in.
Specially if I can build it myself and definitely can.
Now, the one which are cut tilted are coming inside.
All the years that I am involved in building yurts;
it's now about 15 years.
The yurts became more stationary at the beginning.
And two years ago I decided,
that it should not continue in that way.
It is not the basic principle of the yurt construction.
It should be as mobile as it is possible,
and A made an effort to figure out, how can I integrate the principle of mobility
in full sense. Here you see the result of it.
Nothing is perfect - definitely one could improve it, but
there are already many innovations in it, comparing with the old way of building it.
[music]
I am saying - "After all the architect
was invented by the state
for building barracks mausoleums.
The average human had
built up their own tent. He was not in need of an architect.
If one is to observe the history of architecture.
For an funerary monument, for military constructions, maybe for a palace,
but the average citizen had build their house
and thought through how to build it more or less by himself.
He could live his normal life quite well and did not need any architect to help him.
Nowadays you need at least an architect, because of the numerous building regulations
and at least to sign the construction plan.
The building just gets more expansive!
I think the yurt is
the center of "Guat leb´n"(association)
I couldn't imagine it
anymore without the yurt.
Here inside we have seminars.
Every day we are working young people here.
We are inside if it is raining.
Even our animals - on and of is sheep here inside.
Sometimes it is a donkey.
And in the animal therapy we can quite well work with the animals inhere..
Specially when it is not to nice outside.
At the beginning we were not aware of it that the yurt
is bringing certain calmness. The fleece, the round shape,
and the whole atmosphere inside is the way that I can say – It brings calmness!
And we really have people that are very nervous when they arrive.
We really have to calm them down.
And in a short period of time, and we are here often just two three hours.
And in a short period of time are they really on level, where one can say -
one can work with them.
That is actually a great thing. I just can say that the yurt
is our sanctuary; it is such a great thing!
[music]
It is simply something that suits us, sth. that is way more fitting than a squared room
or a room in any other proportion.
Yeah, the harmonic proportions and the circular.
It is way more suitable for us.
And that is why the energy is going towards building something like that.
We recently crossed a threshold that we also passed -
we were considering to build something solid or give up that idea
and to move back in some house or rent a flat or something like that.
That would have been hurtful for us;
would have done it if we absolutely had to,
but it would not suit us anymore.
Since we have already been living in a yurt for three years;
in our self constructed one.
[music]
It started with building it and the inspiration from Claudius,
to create the construction
according the Sacred Geometry.
And therefore I think
it is self explaining that you feel inhere,
in a yurt very cozy.
The climate of the room and distribution of the warmth, the heating -
it's getting sauna like in our school yurt.
We are saving costs here and there and energy
and it feels very comfortable here.
[music]
I would say it is a very protective space.
Also many meditation participants,
seminar participants were saying that inside here,
it is very easy to find to oneself.
it is like ...
Everything around stops existing.
The process of connecting and feeling oneself is way faster.
And the funny thing is – we don't need to invent it,
the wheel – it is unnecessary.
One obviously could try here and there...
But I noticed that every deviation
from that geometry or
every deviation from these proportions is heading into a dead end.
Many generations were constructing it for thousands and thousands of years.
They definitely often tried changing, but were always landing
at the same place; you are always landing in the middle.
You don't have dead corners.
And physically is the circle or the sphere
a form, that has the smallest surface,
compared to the space that is inside.
And therefore it has the lowest heat emission.
So, a spherical house would contain the energy or the warmth in the most efficient way.
Because it has the leas of the emission surface.
Those are very simple principles that repeat themselves and
yes, one could just keep learning from nature; it already contains everything.
[music]
If we observe the form of the yurt or we go to Africa,
we will see round clay houses with a round tent roof.
Those are forms that are appearing by itself out of nature.
The Igloo of the Eskimos is surely one of them.
But here, where we have the brick tradition...
remember the Colosseum - it is also a round building,
but people were slaughtered in it.
And the normal Roman house was not circular.
It had a circular arch architecture - for load bearing capacity reasons.
But the middle European building traditions are not necessary deriving from circular building.
Those are special buildings.
Remember the Tempietto build by Bramante; those are sacred buildings
derived from the Church of the Resurrection.
But the actual building tradition for us here in Germany; anyhow
I would say the architecture of round buildings has a moderate existence.
And I suppose it will probably remain this way.
Because we are not doing "Tabula rasa" and want to reinvent the world.
[music]
The round shape of the room creates such a feeling of comfort;
very different compared to squared rooms.
We would have way more round living spaces
if we would have the possibility
of experiencing the feeling of round spaces.
All people that I know that
once lived in yurts or round buildings are saying -
"I will never go back living in squared room."
It just creates a way higher life and living comfort.
Feels simply secure. Somehow, every circular form;
I think, it's just in us somehow,
since all of us
once were babies - in the belly of our mothers..
[music]
Meanwhile the scientists realized that the nature is
is constructing absolutely efficient and does't waste anything.
By observing their way of constructing,
we recognize that almost all structures are derived from the circle -
like the trees, different seeds and fruits.
[music]
The constructions of the insects are also following the same pattern.
The body of a human we are able to find the same regularities,
since the principles of the Sacred Geometry are also here a normative measurement.
The Golden Ration is a proportion or a measurement.
When I divide a distance,
there will be two parts.
After dividing,
I will have long and a short distance.
And that works always like that. So, when I have to divide a distanse,
The Golden Ratio is asking - where is the point where I have to divide it,
that the relation of the short part to the long part
would be the same as the long distance to the whole length?
It is a mathematical relation,
so by dividing 1 meter the point would be at 61,8 cm.
Or the measurement is 0,61803389.
And I can use it in different ways -
on 2 meters, 5 meters or if I want to adjust a room according the golden proportion.
There is a phenomenon that the Golden Ratio is appearing in all living structures.
And there is a compass that can be used to feature that.
That is this thing. By opening it we have two ends.
There is an extended whole, therefore I can adjust where the middle should be.
Now it is adjusted at the Golden Ratio.
So, there a short and a long distance.
Now I could take and measure a body part.
A nice example is the length of this bone here; the forefinger.
This is the short distance right now.
And that is the long distance for the next bone.
So, if the subsection is divided away from the middle,
I will have a short and a long distance according the Golden Ratio.
The same thing will happen with that finger; here is point of division according to Golden Ratio.
But that's not it - I can open it up and say
- that is the short distance.
So, the length of that bone - is the short distance now.
Now I have here an even longer distance.
And that longer distance is the measurement from here to the wrist.
Or from here till elbow; the division according the Golden Ration is here and so on.
If we divide height of a human body by the Golden Ratio, the division is the belly button.
You can see it very clearly observing Leonardo's drawing – all proportions are in it.
We can observe the foot, the knee, the legs, the whole body -
it is all a Golden Ratio.
There is a background field or an unseen matrix
and the life energy is flowing through it.
So if I construct something harmonically, it starts going into resonance with that background field.
And that makes the energy flow.
The dowser figured out that the energy fault zones
in round shaped rooms are balanced.
And I have very special experience
connecting that topic.
We once built a yurt in Tirol and one of the
seminar members was metrologically equiped,
I mean really professionally;
he came with measuring instruments
and he measured with the magnetometer the mobile signal radiation,
because that radiation in that valley was so bad, like no other place in Austria.
He was saying that people actually should be evacuated from that area,
because the mobile signal radiation is just too high; it is already pathogen.
Than he started measuring inside the yurt and couldn't measure anything.
He brought his second device, because he could't believe that.
The same thing happened.
He did't measure any magnetic fault radiation.
After that he came outside and had to walk about 50 meters away from the yurt
and only that he started measuring something.
The whole yurt in the structure as I build it according to Sacred Geometry,
considering the knowledge of Wilhelm Reich.
Already the geometry is of it is aligned to cosmic principles.
That is way easier than accomplishing it in squared building.
Besides that I use the right relation of metal and insulating materials;
like it is suggested by Wilhelm Reich.
Therefore there is real energetic place in the yurt,
where you one can really recharge and feel well.
[music]
I remember it was a quite a long day for us.
I think we had problems finding a place to stay.
There were tense emotions on that day.
And were already some days on the way
and were also filming.
When we arrived in the evening at that particular yurt;
I remember feeling quite aggressive.
And at the moment when we entered the yurt
all that was like vanished.
It felt like all the negative emotions stayed outside,
and I entered the room and everything seemed way more relaxed
and I was able to reflect in an objective way, and it somehow balanced me immensely.
I also noticed that after leaving the room – the emotional state remained.
I felt good afterwards; that was quite impressive.
I never experienced something like that; that a room could affect me so strongly.
I would say not a very spectacular room in a first place,
could affect me that strongly that it would bring me from one emotion into completely different one.
That was very impressive.
[music]
First we have to understand - what is a human being?!
We are not only our physical body, but also our energy fields.
That means – we are little bigger.
But our fields are never cornered.
There are some angular structures in it,
but mainly we are built spherical
or circular and harmonical.
If you observe a ship, they always have radar reflectors. It is called
triplex mirror. There is a surface and in rectangular angle there are two more mirrors.
It's like a corner of a cube, just from inside.
And that is going to all directions.
That triplex mirror has a certain characteristic – if I send signal towards it,
it will be directly sent back to the place where it is coming from.
It is a perfect reflector and therefore it can always be seen it at the radar.
They have to be on the ship, so it can be recognized on the radar.
Now, we have here all over such room corners
and the energy that I am emitting is repeatedly reflecting from them.
And that is actually enhancing what I am emitting.
That can increase or
the energies can collide hereby more intensely.
And a round form is harmonizing it; it doesn't make it so aggressive.
In geometrical terms we explain it as:
Straight lines are the masculine principle and curved forms are the feminine principle.
In that sense is the round form or a yurt something nurturing – something embracing
and strengthening. And therefore, the energy field won't be triggered,
instead it is taking on the people and lets them be in their own way.
And it gives the possibility to reflect on what is actually the connecting element.
[music]
Eventually it is about;
that is how I understand it:
How is mother nature constructing?!
And I think that the most successful projects
realized by us humans
They are simply therefore that successful, because there are the closest to nature.
Anyway, that is how it is and and that is why it is why it's working well.
[music]
If you for example observe a bee colony,
if you take out a cell,
you will have a hexagon.
And then another hexagon,
that is joined together. And then there is the next hexagon!
And that is the maximum, in terms of using the space.
Basically there is a hexagon - the next step would be again the circle.
For me it is just kind of a metaphor
that in nature it is always heading towards the circular.
We also loose all the dead corners, like we have them in a squared room –
where we would place a stereo system or would try to place a couch.
In the yurt, you basically win in terms of space.
As a result, that dead space is lost.
Yes, there is no better structure than the honeycomb.
The hexagon structure
is absolutely efficient.
It is the Optimum of load-bearing capacity,
structural design; constructing effort.
It's been discovered by the modern architecture..
There are obviously requirements,
let's say, there is place for variety,
just building round shaped is maybe
not always good, but we can
definitely work in that direction.
We can't simple say – it's bad, the honeycomb is for example hexagonally shaped
and there is also life growing inside.
We could also assume – I have a shell of one house that is a hexagon.
If I get kids – alright, I will construct one more hexagonal house to it.
Later I will build another hexagonal house next to it and I could freely vary it.
One could also create a big house in the middle as a place for meeting each other,
and could build small hexagonal houses around that, where the families would live.
Therefore, organic growth or organic life is what
I could pretty much imagine and it could also have future.
[music]
What is likewise
an enormous part of the yurt,
is to connect to the earth
and at the same time to the above.
A new time needs a new consciousness
or a spiritual direction.
And I simply think that
the dome is the architecture for that.
How was his name? Willi Brandt once said: "Every German should get their Volkswagen Beetle!"
And I simply say:"Every human on earth should have his/her dome!"
Their middle, their protective shell - that is the big dream.
[music]
I don't know if it is healthier to live in a round house.
I think that at least
in such a room a more conscious
perception is enabled.
That we experience less distraction
in a room, where you have no possibility to look outside.
That we are more focused on things that we are doing
and the focus is not urged into a corner,
instead one can feel and experience oneself more holistic in such a room.
I therefore believe that the quality of life that one can live in such a space
is way different than the one we are used to from other rooms.
[music]
I believe that in terms of building
we actually developed from a certain
consciousness into wrong direction,
where we are now. Let's say from a pleasant, life-affirming way of life -
like we used to have it in Europe during the celtic time and so on.
Where many round buildings were found.
And we just had to go through the materialism and
that was very good and very helpful and very healing.
But more and more we realize that the materialism simply
doesn't increase the happiness or that the aspired fortune doesn't come with it.
But we tried out.
But more and more it is seen that the consciousness is again simply
settle at the normal level, like it in the whole world.
It doesn't matter if you go to Africa, to Thailand,
doesn't matter which areas you go to, you will find round buildings;
pleasant, earthy, closed round buildings.
Regardless if those are tents, the Mongolian tents, the yurts,
round houses, domes, tipis;
it is always circular, always circular.
[music]
If one goes to other countries, where people live way simpler;
I was also in Burma,
where people live under the roof with just a candle.
And then, I simply asked myself:
What do I really need?
What do I need in order to be happy?
And how do I want to live?
Free from advertisement, free from influences,
free from insinuations,
that I am exposed to on the daily basis.
Those are telling me:
That is the ideal! You want to be that pretty,
you desire to be that successful and that's how you want to live.
If I remove everything - what will remain?
[music]
The dome houses are actually research project,
in terms of how it is effecting the body, mind and soul.
And here is Germany simply a developing country.
One can observe it in Africa,
they all have round huts.
And the move in a circle; they simply still have community.
Therefore the circle – we have a circle of friends, a family circle.
Originally the circle supposed to actually symbolize the soul – the wholeness.
I know an architect: The customer is coming to him asking about a room
and he is saying – the rooms feels disharmonious.
Alright, let's measure it - the hight, depth, width.
And than we will put the measurements on the monochord.
And let the three proportions sound to one another.
[music]
Let's take a room that is:
2 meters times 3 meter times... 4 meter high is kinda stupid - times 1 meter high.
So we can have the numbers: 1, 2 and 3
and let it sound with each other. That would sound more harmonic.
Yeah, sometimes there are some proportions that are disharmonic.
And then, the customer realizes: "Hmm, that doesn't sound right."
And here you can already check: How is resonance of a room?!
How harmonic is the length to the width to the hight?
So we know that the basic proportions in architecture are the same as in the music.
Because it is a science. It is just a sign of our time,
that we separated everything so intensely.
Once it was all part of great knowledge.
The separation happened just about 200 years ago.
[music]
Novalis once said: "Every disease is a musical problem."
Nowadays we have a vibrational medicine.
Today, we also have a energy medicine,
an informational medicine,
where we pretty much realized,
how strongly a room can energetically affect us -
on basis of resonance.
Every room is a vibrational room, every room is a resonance body.
And we don't pay attention to it at all.
It is lost – our science doesn't see this topic at all.
Every architect should learn a lot about that topic -
How can I create room which has a positive vibration?
The key to it is simple the right ratio,
where I also do not use centimeter as the basic metric system, but
Maya's metric system Hunab or the Egyptian metrics or the inches.
Those are the sacred metrics - those three metric systems.
And the next thing is to adjust the harmonic proportion to the size of our planet,
our body, the size of our vibration, in relation to the whole planetary system.
It is derived there from.
The ancient civilizations had way more knowledge in that field,
and from the old buildings,
like the pyramids and the sacred buildings that are left over,
we can read of the measurements that the people from that time
must have known way more than we know today,
about the cosmic proportions to each other.
[music]
In our civilization, I can't call it culture;
we barely have a real culture - a real culture of life,
if you think about what could be realized,
and that is what probably the ancient folks once had.
[music]
All over the world in temples of old cultures, we over and over again find
the image of the Flower of Life.
Also here in Europe this symbol can often be found
carved into old buildings.
This symbol is identified as the perfect depiction,
which form contains the whole measurements of the genesis on earth
There is a procedure in geometry, where you can show
how the structure of the world has been created. We start with one circle
and the we go to the surface of it and are drawing another circle,
then we go around the first one; that would be six steps.
That keeps expanding further
and eventually we arrive at the patter of the Flower of Life.
The Flower of Life is seen as
the root of all geometrical proportions.
By connecting different intersection points with each other,
a new pattern is revealed.
That new pattern is called the Metatron's Cube.
Metatron's Cube contains on the other hand the proportions of the Platonic Solids
like the tetrahedron, octahedron,
hexahedron,
icosahedron,
dodecahedron und many other proportions.
Therefore the Flower of Life was also signified
as the reflection of the universe.
Some advanced civilizations preserved that knowledge
and granted access to that knowledge only in esoteric schools.
The all-around genius Leonardo da Vinci explored that knowledge
and applied it as well as in his drawing,
as in his architectural drafts.
This knowledge was called the Sacred Geometry – Heilige Geometrie (german).
In german, the word "sacred" - „heilige" derives in that case not from holy, but whole,
and that means complete or wholistic.
It is therefore a wholistic knowledge about our existence and its laws.
Geometry is in that context the organizing principle,
that is hidden behind the structure of the world.
There is something that was new for me;
I always looked at the yurt as a living space.
One participant recently told be -
She actually wants to use it as seminar room,
like a working space, what I find quite amazing.
With the yurt – I have a room that is very harmonic,
at the same time it is closed and is a shelter.
If I decide, there would be no windows; only the one on top.
And it could be used for giving massages or working with groups,
one could be creative in there; it could therefore be a studio.
So why should a yurt not be a working space in sense that one needs?!
Of course, the question arises:
"Well, can a family also
live in a yurt?"
Because it's kind of one room space.
I was naturally thinking about that question
and came to the realization – one could obviously put many yurts together,
but that would be very bad in terms of the heating effectivity.
It would be a better idea
if one would attach circularly to the yurt additional rooms.
That means, beginning from the roof of the yurt
one would add, let's say 4 additional meter (13 feet).
In that case one would have a tilt of the roof with an angle of 10 degrees.
The additional room should be placed a bit lower respectively,
the yurt should be placed higher right at the beginning -
on a higher platform at about half a meter (1,6 foot).
This way it would be possible to place additional rooms with the depth of circa 4 meters.
This way one can build in a circle around it
and place nicely all additional rooms, kids room,
sleeping room of parents, bathroom, kitchen,
and the southern part one could even place a glazed winter garden.
If I want attach room or other parts to it -
like a toilette or bathroom or technical room,
if I need a underfloor heating or
a washing machine or anything else,
that will be connected in an externally
building outside.
Which is likewise round shaped
and is adjusted to the geometry of the yurt,
but doesn't interrupt the round shape of the yurt.
And what was important to me is not to renounce the living comfort.
It shouldn't be like: "Back in the cave!" or something like that,
but in contrary: "Forward into the UFO!"
When I enter the space, there is simply a feeling
in that enclosed room that I am in that UFO,
landed in that realm, where I can seat down an really relax.
If you go inside and close the door than you are in that space,
that is created through the architecture and the particular geometry.
The people came through the workshop,
and they were able to see how it was all working here.
Werner, the one who was helping us inside with the clay plaster,
he also decided with his family to move in a yurt in the forest quarter.
He is the next one to build a yurt.
Since we came into a conflict
with the yurt, I mean in contact,
in positive contact,
we definitely share that dream.
And we are not alone; some good people are in on it;
are on our level. It would be ideal!
Now the learning assembly is here. What is missing is place for cooking
and two three families for living and you would already have a village.
Many people think like that,
but the laws are making it complicated to make things happen.
What I am wishing for ...
that many people can discover
such way of building
and that it can be spread widely.
Because I believe it is important to create in possibly a simple way;
the way you could learn it with Claudius Kern,
a quite cheap haven or shelter
or a roof over your head,
a home that helps you to connect to nature,
that is oriented on nature too.
One should not necessary recreate what we are doing, but discover it for oneself,
how beautiful that is, how valuable that is for one's own life
and how enriching it can be.
Yes.
