Adrere Amellal Indigenous Eco-hotel in Egypt
这个Siwa绿洲在埃及和利比亚边界以东50公里的湖岸边，这里到处是岩石和沙子，这里的历史遗址表明，许多民族曾在此居住长达一万年。这些被遗弃的古代Siwan民居，通过传统方式被重新整修和扩建，成为了新的Adrere Amellal酒店。这是个生态的酒店，没有无线网络、电话服务、电力或者其他现代酒店的各种舒适设施。相反地，当游客入住这个酒店，可以从现实的工业社会走出，回到远古历史，享受这宜人的夜空、湖上的风和沙漠景观。本项目由EQI事务所设计，主要建筑结构是Kershef（这是一种岩盐和泥土的混合物）、石块和从山体掏出来的居住空间。这个建筑所有的设计都是为了满足最基本的需要。厚土墙白天吸收热量，使室内保持凉爽；储存的热量在夜间气温下降时放出。所有房间的窗口都有一定大小，作为天然空调，迎来沙漠的凉风；取暖则主要靠烧木材的火盆。太阳落山后，照明靠的是油灯和蜡烛，柔和的灯光下，砖石建筑及其天然石膏饰面的纹理格外清晰。这里还有一系列与建筑联系起来的室外庭院，让人们来到室外，与土地更加亲近。这个酒店最显著的特征就是复兴了消失几千年的古老手工艺。客房内的床铺用的是床夯棉花，所有的家具样式简单，也是由古老的手艺打磨而成。所以，Adrere Amellal酒店是一个复兴和保存本地建筑材料、劳动力和手工艺的遗产。

The Siwa Oasis is located at the banks of the self-titled lake in Egypt around 50 km east of the Libyan border - a desert land of rock and sand that has been inhabited by various civilizations for over 10，000 years and still holds vestiges of evidence. The ancient Siwan houses， crumbling over years of abandon， have been restored and extended using traditional methods to create the 'Adrere Amellal hotel'， an eco-lodge so sensitive to its environment it does not offer wifi， phone service， electricity， or the usual trappings of contemporary comfort. Instead， a visit to the hotel frees you from the industrialized world and presents a window into history， it allows you to experience the night sky， lake breeze， and desert landscape as it has always been enjoyed. Renovated by the environmental quality international (EQI)， the structures are made of a combination of kershef (a mixture of rock salt and mud)， stone masonry， and carved out dwellings from the large mountain that hosts the lodge. Returning to the fundamentals of design， all aspects of the buildings are aimed at naturally maintaining basic comforts. The thick earthen walls absorb heat during the day and maintain a cool interior， then radiate heat at night when the temperature drops. All windows are sized and placed specifically to catch the desert breezes and eliminating the need for air conditioning - heat is obtained through wood-burning braziers. Oil lamps and candles are the only source for light after the sun sets， transforming the interior into a more cavernous protected environment with constant flickering light that highlights the various textures of the masonry construction and natural plaster finishes. A series of exterior courtyards connect the satellite buildings and encourage its residents to sit outdoors and become more in tune with the land. The most notable feature of the hotel， however， is the revival of the disappearing craftsman who have shaped the area for thousands of years. The beds are made of rammed cotton and the simple furnishings made by hand using ancient techniques. More than a hospitable temporary accommodation， the Adrere Amellal Hotel is a testament to local material， labor， and methods preserved through its renovation.
