This architecture student saw a problem… Construction waste is hurting our planet. Her solution? Turning old clothes into construction bricks! The process is simple: shred unwanted textiles, mix with eco-friendly glue, compress and let dry. No extra dyes are needed. These fabric bricks are now being used in walls, furniture and decor. Over 12 tons of textiles have been saved from landfills using this method. This is the kind of innovation that gives me hope for a sustainable future. What sustainable innovations have you seen recently that amazed you?

𝙇𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙑𝙚𝙣𝙪𝙚, This design is a favorite of mine, showcasing how a simple curve can transform into an exciting display of orderliness. It exemplifies sustainability in an extraordinary manner. #conceptualdesign

One of my oldest dreams and concept projects. This tower is designed to produce clouds from underground water. One tower generates cloud up to 2 square kilometers. Patented research. #cloudgenerator #design #industrialdesign #concept #digitalique

Living Buildings: The Architecture of Tomorrow Roberto Hernandez, #OPEN_TO_WORK Architect / Project Manager What if buildings could grow, adapt, and regenerate like living organisms? In a future where sustainability and resilience are essential, we might design living buildings, structures that not only coexist with their environment but also enrich it. 🌿 Self-healing biomaterials Imagine a building made of biological materials, such as mycelium (the root system of fungi), capable of regenerating itself when damaged. These materials wouldn't just be sustainable but could also absorb carbon dioxide and improve air quality. 🌞 Active and productive facades Walls could be covered with vegetation panels that produce oxygen and food, or even organic solar cells generating clean energy. These facades would continuously interact with their environment, adjusting to climate conditions. 🌎 Symbiosis with nature Beyond integration, these buildings could work symbiotically with nature. For instance, they could collect rainwater to sustain vertical gardens or create microhabitats for local species. 🔄 Adaptability to change In a rapidly evolving world, living buildings could adapt to the changing needs of their occupants. Spaces could organically reconfigure themselves to optimize use, adjusting to new functions or requirements. This approach redefines architecture, transforming it into a dynamic organism that actively participates in the ecosystem. What do you think? Are we ready to build with life? Share your thoughts!

How Are Innovations Changing Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)? In the past, we have seen proposals for alternative uses of EPS, such as using larvae that digest the material and whose secretions nourish a new ecosystem. Other alternatives include producing new products, such as coatings and paints. However, to understand the current landscape of expanded polystyrene, it is necessary to explore contemporary innovations along with the advances and visions that have recently emerged. https://lnkd.in/eZ-XqgvK #architecture #materials #technology #sustainability

I talked to Kntxtr about my way into architecture and my vision of its future.  Read the full interview on kontextur.info

The meaning of “Sustainability” in architecture has not yet been rationalized. The term sustainable is used freely—and often mistakenly—to describe a broad range of intents and performances. This is unfortunate, as it tends to make sustainability a meaningless term—and sustainability is far too important to be rendered meaningless by baseless claims. Sustainability will be defined as involves meeting the needs of today’s generation without detracting from the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Sustainability for most is essentially long‐term survival under an assumed standard of living. In architectural terms, sustainability involves ensuring the survival of an existing quality of life for future generations. From the standpoint of energy, water, and materials, it can be argued that sustainability requires zero use of nonrenewable resources. Any long‐term removal of nonrenewable resources from the environment will surely impair the ability of future generations to meet their needs (with fewer resources being available, as a result of our actions). Because sustainability is so important a concept and objective, the term should not be used lightly. It is highly unlikely that any single building built in today’s economic environment can be sustainable (yielding no net resource depletion). Sustainability at the community scale is more probable; examples,however, are rare.

Did you know that some of the most innovative building designs take inspiration from nature? Biotechnology architecture is a prime example of this, where bioengineered materials are used to create sustainable structures that are both functional and visually stunning. Imagine using live materials that can grow, produce energy, and self-heal to create buildings that are in harmony with nature! #biotechnologyarchitecture #sustainability #design #architecture #engineering #shellhouse #biotechnology #buildingmaterials #durability #versatility #innovation #environmentallyfriendly #sustainabilitychallenge #future #futuretech #insulation #insulated #inspirational #amazing #indigenous #shelter #archilover #architexture #organicarchitecture #organicarchitect
