Shelter of Demolition, An assessment and integration of utilizing construction and demolition waste materials

With the constant rise of construction and demolition waste materials produced from the increase of building consents issued, several examples of projects utilize small aspects of these construction and demolition waste materials. This research investigates and explores how a larger scale project can be conducted in utilizing these materials. Michael Reynolds have explored this form by utilizing the natural materials and the general recyclable household items into his Earthship designs. By replicating this method from utilizing the construction and demolition waste materials, different construction methods and techniques are employed from these materials. The results of this investigation can influence in how different materials can be reconfigured and designed rather than the reliance of utilizing the standard manufactured items and materials.
