- Title
Txatarra: vivienda transitoria con buses de transporte público.
- Authors
Ricardo Mejía Sarmiento, Javier
- Abstract
This analysis of the Casa Linda project sets out a conceptual exploration into sustainable environments through the reuse of public transport buses, which would otherwise be scrap. While rethinking the process of shaping the material environment, the inadequacies of traditional methods became clear. In this traditional approach it is normal to use raw materials that are shaped depending on the projects requirements, in standard ways, and for previously defined ends. Approaching a project starting from recycled objects and materials (scrap) of different sizes and in uneven condition, generated a process characterized by the impossibility of anticipating or controlling the construction procedure and final result.
