01 CAPSTONE RECYCLING PLANT
SCHOOL YEAR: 2023 - SPRING SEMESTER PROFESOR: ARQ. PEDRO ROSARIO & ARQ. MANUEL DE LESMOS
CLASS: ARAD 420 -
ABSTRACT: The existing solid waste has the potential to be reused as construction materials. By employing 3D printing technology, I propose the creation of building elements using materials that are best suited for the 3D printing process. The ideal raw materials for the 3D printing process include plastics, geopolymers, aluminum, and clay. Each of these materials has a unique processing method to be recycled and transformed into raw material.
