Architecture on Paper and sustainable materials. Sustainable materials as method

Authors: KONG, Mário S. Ming
The concept of sustainability in construction appears in various forms and with a plurality of terms. The aim is to reduce consumption and energy losses, the protection of biodiversity of natural systems and the integration of the built environment with the natural environment, without sacrificing comfort and beauty. In this sense it is useful to look not only around us but also to the past and find inspiration in historical models.

Creativity is a productive capacity where fantasy and reason are associated, and whose results serve as an engine for the communication and transmission of ideas and information. Since we strongly believe that architecture is a product of creativity, imagination and invention, born of the relations that the mind established between what it knows, for what it craves and its inherent notion of harmony and proportion.
