Can we make a building from waste
Reinventing Materials
Thesis focus
Looking at concrete and the ways in which we can make it more sustainable
The Problem
Widely used building materials extremely CO2 heavy especially through production and consumption. |
40% OF CONSTRUCTION = WASTE FROM MATERIALS
|
The Goal
To reduce the carbon emissions of building materials through material makeup and manufacturing |
We must and recycle wasted materials to bring down CO2 emissions
|
METHODs
Thesis Question
Can concrete be made more sustainable using means of cultivated solutions or alternative materials developed from a more experimental approach?
Design Concept
This project works towards the development of a research and manufacturing center with educational and collaborative initiatives focused towards creating more sustainable concrete as well as other building materials.
