Cartilla interactiva para autoconstrucción: prototipo de vivienda diseñado con bloques hechos a base de materiales PET reciclados en el barrio Juan Pablo II, Bogotá D.C

Abstract

The self-construction of homes can be considered an effective alternative for the development of the most vulnerable families in the country, providing a response to such an essential need as having a roof over one's head. Although the technique may be difficult for the end-users of self-built homes, it is possible to provide training through instructions that detail the different construction stages. In this sense, the project opens up the possibility of addressing deficiencies in the classification of solid waste, which are more prevalent in marginalized neighborhoods, and which can serve as raw material to design and produce a modular architectural element. This can not only respond to the construction of the prototype home but also help the environment by giving a second use to solid waste such as plastic. An interactive booklet is aimed at illustrating the sequence of the construction process in a graphic and easy-to-understand manner. Additionally, the proposal also includes the integration of traditional materials with new technologies, taking advantage of the post-industrialization of plastic products to create constructive and architectural elements.
