Mrac (Mangrove Rhizophorachitecture) : The Future Inovation by Using Biomaterial

1) The document discusses a concept called MRaC (Mangrove RhizophoraChitecture) which proposes using the mangrove tree species Rhizophora Apiculata as a biomaterial for green architecture and living structures. 2) It notes that Indonesia has extensive mangrove forests that are being damaged and lost. The MRaC concept aims to help preserve these forests by utilizing Rhizophora Apiculata in construction. 3) The potential benefits of Rhizophora Apiculata discussed include its ability to reduce wave energy, provide stress resistance comparable to concrete, and how its root configurations can withstand vertical forces, making it suitable as a biomaterial for the green architecture

Mangrove forest vast in Indonesia is 4,25 million Ha. Most of them locate in
Papua
69%, Sumatra 16% and Kalimantan 9% (Abdullah
et ., al1990 Pur nobasuki
H.,2006). Base on 1999 data, mangrove vast forest in Indonesia is
guessed Ha
8,6 and 5,3 million is damaged (direktorat jendral rehabilitasi
million
lahan dan sosial 2001).
perhutanan
Gr een architecture pr inciple according to (Thomas A. Fisher, 1992) :
(1)healthy
environment, (2) energi efficiency, (3) local green material, (4) natural
good
shape,design.
(5) Base on 5 principle, MRaC is born as a way to save
mangrove
vast
forest
in Indonesia
by using Rhizophora Apiculata
as a biomaterial in mangrove
green living.
Potential think of Rhizophora Apiculataare (1) natural ability as green belt to
decrease 50% wave energy, (2) strees power similar with k600 concreate, (3)
how
roots figuration can sustain vertical force, so Rhizophora Apiculata
is suitable as
biomater ial in green architecture concept living as MRaC (Mangrove
Rhizophora Chitecture).
Interior living concept MRaC is devided into 3 parts, foundation by using areal
roots
and stilt roots, wall by using air roots configuration and roof by using
Rhizophora
branch of Apiculata.
By MRaC design concept, human aware to save the nature and can live with
nature,
not broke and fell trees so mangrove forest in Indonesia can be eternal.
