The constant process of transformation of our society, has not an impact in the development of architectural and construction processes. Due to this point, “Component parts Architecture” seems to be a contemporary and necessary way to include the mutations of human needs related to architecture.
An effort to face this challenge made us to rethink the development of architecture in the scope of the house production, and specially emergency houses for social nor natural emergency. We have developed an architectonic system based on component parts that through an operation of recycling, in this case, Newspaper industry waste, allowing the integration of specific constructive elements requirements. This let us maintain the massive and industrial condition of the original cellulose stems.
The “Industrial Waste Recycled Shelter” (IWRS) is a product with a big standard of design, versatile, ready to be taken and to be used at the moment. It is a constructive system of industrialized modular components that allow the construction of different sizes and models of houses, depending on need of it user, or the case of emergency. The components form combinable complexes in a limited but ample number of distribution and progress possibilities, starting from a nucleus of 14m², which works like the first independent and simultaneously complementary stage of its future development.
The versatility and economy of their parts -due to use waste material- allow through successive and small operations to transform a small pack into a shelter able to be standing in less than 1 day, incorporating the added value to be part of recycling process.
