mud architecture: an alternative to the ever increasing need for accommodation
Modernize the use of this material is a small but ancient reality and can become a real alternative to the proliferation of expensive architecture renewable energies and high environmental impact, based on the supremacy of the concrete and new chemicals as a response to all problems.
ground construction can be approached with a high technical level, and even scientific, as well as other building technologies. From Vernacular applications, which accumulated centuries of experience in the field and a "know-how often elaborate, to the modern building that has been able to make a real level of sophistication and above all a deep technical research has been applied in the case of extra brick -pressing or the importance of the fineness of the aggregate, or new technologies such as domes been made with earth-filled bags, as recognized by the UN as optimal seismic system, the original technique of burning the house from the inside to make it a huge ceramic or filling car tires with earth and stones used to build walls. The construction of clay has a wealth of diverse opportunities and a great capacity to adapt to different situations and contexts.
What is needed now is a recognition of the benefits of the mud at the public and architects. So that it no longer considered a brittle material, unhealthy and third-needed examples of modern buildings, masons, a greater awareness of the dangers of chemical materials in the home and a disclosure of the benefits of Green Building.
