Architecture with residual and alternative materials (print edition)

There is a lack of homes on the planet and there is plenty of waste. Marta Soriano has carried out an exhaustive investigation into the 5 continents, on the various house building systems, based on what we call “waste” that, actually she notes as valuable resources.

In this work with more than 700 pages and more than 1000 color photos, Marta offers a series of detailed construction manuals, described step by step. He transmits his own experience and encourages us to build in an alternative way, original, paradigmatic and respectful with the planet.

He describes a deep and extensive journey through the history of construction with waste, that began its journey at the dawn of civilization.

They are creative constructions, original, daring, stimulants.

New era, new alternatives, new architecture.

Architecture with waste is an excellent alternative to the current problem and is breaking into force, objectifying the ways of working, reusing tires, containers, pallets, aluminum cans, plastic and glass bottles ... even the most current waste. We have numerous references collected in this book, many illustrated examples and curious anecdotes.

"Consume less" is the message that the author leaves us in this work, pointing out from the start that we are nature, from her we come and to her we belong.
