Hi! Today, I'm going to write about the importance of mixing the ecology with the architecture. It is significant because, we have a really alarming issue with our planet. We are creating tons of plastic that they are finnally thrown into the ocean. We are emiting a lot of gasses that are damaging for our planet.
Some solutions are to reduce the energy, to reduce the plastic... We have to introduce this solutions in our normal life. So introducing this to our homes and buildings is a good idea.
First of all, we have to work with materials that are well for our planet. A building has a lot of diferent parts, and each part requires diferent materials with diferent properties.
For the structure we can use:
-Stones are sustainable, because they are directly extracted from the nature. This stones are taken to a factory to mold the stone to the shape that you want. This means that you have used energy, but the stone still natural, it hasn't have chemical products that can change its properties.
-Ceramic bricks are a typical material that we can see in a lot of buildings. Some of this
bricks, aren't too ecological at all, but there are different ideas to make them sustainable for our planet. For example, we can make a brick from natural ceramic (with any chemical products), and shaped by an hydraulic press, which makes it regular and smooth.
- The wood is one of the most ecological products that you can find to build buildings. This is because the CO2 that the trees have recollected in the wood (if the trees are well removed) the CO2 stays in the wood and because the producing of the wood uses less energy than other materials. Nowadays, there are a lot of buildings made of wood.
You also can use recycled wood, that it helps to avoid deforestation.
For the insulations, we can use:
-Cork: It's one of the most renewable sorts of our planet, because when you take cork of a tree, the tree is still alive, so the next year it will have mor cork to take. This helps to avoid deforestation.
-Cellulose is made of a 85% of recycled paper and the 25% is made of other recycled materials. It's treated with boric acid (a low toxicity product) that helps the cellulose being a good insulation.
For the installations:
- Stainless steel, is one of the most ecological steels. Because its made of a 60% of recycled energy, it can be easily recycled, it can be reused...
For the "finishing touches" such as painting:
-Inside paintings: Most of the paintings, are damaging for our planet. So we have to think for another alternatives. For example: Bee wax painting, that isa good alternative to replace the toxic and plastic ones.
-Outside paintings: We can use paints made of potassium silicate, that is less contaminating than the normal ones.
This was my post about the ecological materials, but I haven't finish talking about the "bioconstruction". For this reason, in the next post, I will write about the ecological houses.
I hope I've helped you!
