Description
Building from Waste: Recovered Materials in Architecture and Construction explores the concept of sustainable design by reducing waste and promoting the use of recycled materials. This book delves into innovative ways to process materials that would otherwise be considered waste, transforming them into new construction elements. The authors examine various products and building elements, including façade panels made from straw and self-healing concrete, as well as advanced research projects using newspaper, wood, or jeans denim as isolating fibres. The book is organized by manufacturing processes, such as densification, reconfiguration, transformation, design, and cultivation of materials. A product directory provides a comprehensive overview of the materials and projects presented in the book, categorized by their functional uses in construction. This systematic approach offers a valuable resource for architects, designers, and builders seeking to incorporate sustainable practices into their work.
