Prefabricando lo natural. los ecomateriales en la era de su reproductibilidad técnica

Abstract

Prefabrication of natural resources builds a bridge that links agriculture with architecture, turning natural fibers into sustainable construction materials. The current research assumes natural resources as inexhaustible sources for architecture, suggesting the construction of emergency shelter prototypes built with eco-materials and taking them to their limit in extreme climatic conditions. The results generated out of the prototypes allow the evaluation of the mechanical, physical and chemical behavior of these eco-materials. Progressive improvement of the prototypes is aimed at the implementation of these eco-materials within the construction industry.
