CANNIBALIZED MATERIALS [02]: RUBBLE MATRIX The Caravansari found in the town of Qum in Teheran is built with a structural matrix of mud, brick, and stone rubble. 004 Similarly, rubble from deconstruction should be utilized in other systems in modern design. Broken concrete, bricks, and other stone or clay based materials from demolished buildings should be repurposed for structural purposes in new construction or reconstruction. This will drastically reduce construction waste and reinforce the longevity of the building material lifespan. Even if the rubble is not used in other buildings, it can be repurposed for sidewalks, barrier walls, and pavers. HISTORY OF SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES
