According to the design team H.2, the goal of the house is to design a minimalistic space outside, modern and fully functional inside. The house also clearly shows the personality of the owner, which is a romantic space, filled with green trees and raw materials. The function of the house consists of six floors. The first floor includes a parking garage and a rental shop; the second floor consists of three small apartments for rent; The third floor includes six large rental apartments. The fourth floor is the master bedroom, two children’s bedrooms, a common room; The fifth floor includes the kitchen and dining room, and the sixth floor is the homeowner’s office. The facade of Hoa’s House is made of wind cotton walls made of iron frames and cemboard leaves. In addition, the design façade incorporates green trees protruding from the upper floors. Because the land is close to the market, the owner has reserved the first floor for business rental. The upper floors, the owner wanted to have an architectural difference between the floors, so the design team created a cover with green trees combined with wind cotton walls made of iron frames and cemboard leaves. The design team shared: “The owner lives in Saigon, has a busy working time, so he wants a space to truly enjoy the resort style. This is also a warm touch in the middle of the crowded market.” Therefore, the bedrooms, toilets, kitchens, and offices all have open spaces with a view of green trees. In particular, the owner spends the fifth floor with a view of the city, so the kitchen space is open to let nature flow into the house. This open space contrasts with the quiet life hidden behind arched walls interspersed with vegetable and fruit gardens. The living area on the fifth floor includes the kitchen and dining room. All spaces are designed to be open to the outdoors. The rooftop combines an office, connected to the kitchen by a small open-air staircase in the style of three steps to create a softer space. In addition, the design team also created a highlight for the house through an arc-shaped cast wall interspersed with vegetable and fruit gardens. Furniture, floors, walls are all cement colors, bringing a close and rustic beauty like a countryside. The master bedroom has a city view. The design team prioritizes the design of bedrooms for homeowners according to the resort model. The owner’s bathroom is on the fourth floor. The bathroom is also immersed in nature by flowers and fruit trees. A room for rent on the upper floors, fully furnished and neat. The room for rent has a sleeping area in the mezzanine. The toilet area of ​​a room for rent has an open space design that integrates with nature.

Skylights have the effect of taking in light and convection of air. (Illustration) As an indispensable space for a modern townhouse, the skylight has the effect of bringing in light and convection air. In addition, the area of ​​​​the skylight is also an ideal place to decorate the small landscape, helping the homeowner add more beauty to the house. Forest miniatures Trees are always the optimal choice when decorating skylights. Planting trees in this area is very easy to rot because of weather conditions, so homeowners should choose plants that are easy to live, do not take much care. To make the green landscape more natural, homeowners can combine it with stones, gravel or other garden decoration materials. If the small landscape design in the skylight is a tree population, the trees should be arranged into three floors. (Illustration) Trees should be arranged according to the principle of three tree layers. Large tree used to create a common theme. The second tier are plants that are shorter and thinner than the host plant. The bottom layer is the trees as the background, the shape needs to be smaller and thinner. When creating forest miniatures at skylights, homeowners should pay attention to the contrasting relationship between trees, such as between sparse and dense; between focused and discrete; between big and small; between host and guest; between competing and yielding… to create a natural tree population. Contrasting relationships between trees in the population should be noted. (Illustration) There are differences in morphology, living conditions as well as care among varieties, so if you want to be effective when designing forest miniatures, homeowners should plant trees of the same species. Small scene of cactus On the market today there are many types of cacti such as grandfather cactus, rabbit ear cactus, dragon fruit cactus, fox tail cactus, melon cactus… each type has its own characteristics in shape, color and flower . The cactus in the skylight is usually designed in the style of a flower bed. (Illustration) Cactus flowers in a very diverse cycle that no other ornamental plant has. Ornamental cacti are selectively bred and tamed for a long time. The appeal of cacti is easy to graft, rich in shape. Small landscape cactus in skylights are often designed as flower beds, depending on the size of the skylight, choose the appropriate number of plants. The front row chooses small plants or creeping plants. In the back, choose taller trees, not necessarily in rows. Sometimes a tall cactus is enough to make a fancy miniature. (Illustration) No need to arrange much, sometimes a tall cactus standing alone also makes a fancy miniature. Note when choosing cacti for beauty, homeowners should use light-colored bricks in the skylight area. Small rock scene Stone miniatures are a very popular style of skylight decoration in Western countries, especially with large-area villas. Natural stones, artificial stones are arranged alternately with plants that will create vivid miniatures. Stone miniatures are very popular in Western countries. (Illustration) When designing a rock landscape, homeowners can combine waterfall decoration with vines, ferns or flowers. With the shape of a small stream, it is possible to combine aquatic plants such as reeds, reeds, water bamboos. To create natural beauty, you should choose rocks with rough surfaces, rough edges, and more valuable moss or lichen. Note that one stone must be used and when stacked, it must be shaped like a natural joint. Small rock landscape combining waterfall, vines. (Illustration) In case the space is not large enough, where it is not suitable to arrange a rock garden, a stone wall as a background for climbing plants is a suitable idea. Note when choosing stone materials, such as display stones, you should choose pebbles, granite, slate…, planter stones that use permeable stone. Stone shape also depends on the function, such as stone for wall or embankment should choose rectangular block stone; waterfall stone used flat type (to create water shelf) combined with cobblestone for stream wall; block stones for stream banks; stone for bridge should use block stone to build foundation. Ceramic miniatures In interior decoration and especially at skylights, ceramic miniatures have created a new and attractive style when bringing an idyllic beauty, rough but bearing the breath of the village. There are many types of ceramics commonly used for display such as ceramic paintings, vases, decorative motifs, etc. The ceramic vase itself is a work of art. (Illustration) Ceramic vases are inherently works of art. Long-necked vases, tall tubular vases, “big belly with tight mouth” vases, combined with other materials such as silk, beads, rattan. If you know how to coordinate with plants, the decorative value of pottery will be higher. Choosing ceramic surface material depends on the design style of the house. With a modern and youthful home style, it is advisable to decorate ceramic vases in a disruptive style, with hot colors and strange shapes. The jars and jars are suitable for traditional tropical style houses. Phuong Anh (synthetic)

Everyone longs for a “paradise” free from disease, war, and oppression, although this paradise may not exist, but with the development of science, technology and society, we are getting closer. to heaven in the eyes of the ancients. We will also be curious about the future of human society. There are countless works trying to construct an impossibly beautiful perspective for exploring such issues, most of which of course have pessimistic results. In 1798, the British demographer and economist – Malthus showed in his thesis “Principle of Population” that the population increased exponentially but food production increased linearly. If things continued like this, it would reach a point where the population could no longer grow. The hidden content of this theory is that population growth does not necessarily bring prosperity, but can cause socioeconomic stagnation, hence the so-called “Malthusian trap”. After the end of World War II, the world gradually returned to prosperity, the United States ushered in a period of population explosion with a series of babies after the war, and with it, pessimistic views began to emerge. . Some people think that “overpopulation” can lead to a crisis, which in the short term will deplete resources for survival. This mentality of the majority of the population was immediately drawn to Malthus’ ideals. However, the success of the Green Revolution made Malthus’s model no longer valid, as food production spiked. However, the fear surrounding population explosion and its consequences still lingers here and there. Accordingly, a series of experiments demonstrating the effects of population explosion emerged. But a series of animal experiments seem to have yielded surprising results. Human estimates of resources for survival may still be too optimistic, but the real crisis coming from the population itself will seem obvious. The most prominent of which is the experiment of John B. Calhoun, an American expert specializing in the study of ethology and human behavior. John B. Calhoun and the Norwegian Rats. Calhoun was particularly interested in studying birds during his early years, and one of his studies was published in the journals of the Tennessee Bird Society at the age of 15. After that, Calhoun studied from bachelor’s degree to doctorate, and his research direction also gradually turned to animal behavior. Since his doctoral thesis was to study the 24-hour rhythm of the Norwegian rat, Calhoun’s work after graduation was also closely related to this rat. In 1947, Calhoun, then working at Johns Hopkins University, asked a neighbor to buy a piece of land less than 1,000 square meters to use as a laboratory. Then he decided to build an “artificial rat paradise” so that his rodents could live carefree. In the end, Calhoun named the place “Rat City”. With this amount of land, the area of ​​​​the mouse city is not small, it is estimated that it can accommodate 5,000 rats, Calhoun also provides adequate food and water for his mouse subjects, while minimizing the maximum. the impact of disease and predators. Rats are only allowed to operate within the “city”. However, the development of the mouse city was not as smooth as imagined, even a bit bizarre. Calhoun initially included five pregnant female mice, but the reproductive rates of mice in this range were not as high as he had imagined. The number of rats in the study area never exceeded 200, and it stabilized at about 150, much smaller than the number of rats this “artificial paradise” could accommodate. Live rats cluster together in groups, and feed only at specific spots. This may have been the first experiment that brought Calhoun’s attention to population density. Five years after the failure of the rat city project, Calhoun joined the US National Department of Mental Health (NIMH) and was in a better position to design experiments on mice. At that time, Calhoun had a small team working with him, they improved the experimental environment on the mice as well as specially designed the breeding area so that the “artificial paradise” could work better. . The farming area is now only about 4.5 m long, 3 m wide, divided into 4 areas separated by electric fences, each area is equipped with unlimited food and water sources, there is also a multi-storey “apartment” that rats can enter in a spiral. The 4 areas separated by the grid are actually not completely isolated from each other, they are connected in pairs by 3 small bridges. Specifically, these four regions can be considered as four quadrants in the Cartesian coordinate system, where only a direct bridge exists that causes the path to move between the beginning – area 1 and the end – area 4 creating into a U shape. Calhoun designed a special feeding system, where solid food is kept behind nets and the collection process is not easy. In the first litter, but the residents here are reasonably arranged with a total of 32 mice, the number of males and females is equal and they are all adult rats that have reached reproductive age. According to the plan, the mice in the habitat would breed quickly, and the number would exceed the 40 limit for a short time, but Calhoun wouldn’t stop the experiment immediately. He would let the rats spawn to 80 and watch them. At first, the female rats were evenly distributed in the four regions, but when the fights between the males ended, the stronger males took over more females. Due to the design of four areas and three connecting bridges, a large number of low-status male rats will be concentrated in areas two and three, while the first and fourth areas become “swarms” of mice Males have higher status. At the bridge, the rats built their own barriers that prevented individuals from walking freely. Weak mice went to cages 2 and 3 to feed and could not return, only a small number of male rats remained in cages 1 and 4. At this point, the strange thing happened, the low-status male rat living in areas 1 and 4 – despite living among the females – had no desire to mate with the opposite sex. Instead they approached higher-status male rats, but the high-status males didn’t deny it either. The number of mice in the barn for 2-3 days is dense due to the continuous appearance of new litters of mice that “go and do not return”. At the same time, the rats’ eating behavior changed as they became accustomed to Calhoun’s feeding device. They refuse to eat alone, and only engage in net scavenging activities when and only in the presence of their own. The pressure from the population, from feeding (despite the abundance of food) creates a pattern that Calhoun calls a “behavioural sink”, roughly translated as “behavior alienation”; Rats begin to develop harmful behaviors. Under the influence of behavioral alienation, female rats have increased social interaction and decreased ability to care for offspring – and because young rats rely heavily on their mothers, herd numbers are at risk of decline. Whenever female mice move their nests, they often leave behind a large number of young mice. And yet, at the time of estrus, because female rats live in closed cages, they cannot escape from the males, and the brutal mating behavior in the cage affects the young even more. At one point, the mortality rate in the rat cage reached 96%. In dominant males, behavioral corruption causes them to become hysterical, frequently attacking their cagemates and even their young. In the vulnerable group of mice, Calhoun found traits that could separate mice into three distinct groups: The first type is called “pansexual”, they do not participate in competitions for social status, but will try to mate with any rat possible regardless of gender. or age. Not many individuals refuse this behavior. The latter, which Calhoun calls a “somnambulist”, is slow-moving, barely interacts with other rats, does not participate in social activities, and very few other individuals interact with them. ., but they are extremely fond of taking care of their appearance and are never violent. The third category, the group that most surprised Calhoun was named the “probes”. These are hyperactive individuals, constantly looking for opportunities to mate with rats of both sexes. Even if they were attacked by higher-status male rats, they would still frantically pursue females in heat. Once they reached the slums and found the young left behind, the fugitives found another source of nourishment. Continue: The end of the gruesome experiment, and the premise of the next one.
