bioarchitecture

bioarchitecture
New architectural trend which sustains that buildings are part of the ecosystems in which they are immersed. This organic architecture takes profit of the available local resources, specially the traditional materials like earth, wood, vegetal fibers or agricultural waste, between many others, which, additionally, turns it into a low cost architecture. The use of local materials has always been associated with traditional construction techniques, which can be remarkably improved, based on them to create others to satisfy the demands of the future. The bioarchitecture makes use of the excellent advantages of these renewable natural materials for the design of healthy and comfortable housing, fresher in summer and warmer in winter. They can be complemented with the use of solar and wind energy not only in passive but in active systems as well.
