The Centre of Alternative Construction<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The starting point of my research is the distribution and consumption of freshwater available for human consumption . I identify the four types of environmental footprints: carbon, fossil energy, land and water. The water footprint of construction materials let me to the study of the carbon footprint embodied due to the journey and the production. This becomes an important part supporting one of the principles of the project, increasing the use of local materials, recycling, and reusing in order to reduce the overall consumption of CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on The Economic Action Plan of the Welsh Government, the proposal will provide new opportunities to young people to train on designing without waste. The ethos of the project is based on thinking in \u201csystems\u201d, using renewable energies and resources, while eliminating waste because the waste of one process is the opportunity for another one. Considering elements in relation to their environmental and social context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
