Plastic

By mimicking structures found in seashells, scientists have created a transparent plastic that is as strong as steel.
For years scientists have tried to build sturdy materials for larger products from ultrastrong nano-size building blocks, such as nanotubes, nanosheets and nanorods, only to have the larger structures turn out comparatively weak.

Rubbish bin inspires Taiwan's plastic bottle building

A building made from recycled plastic PET bottles has been built in the Taiwanese capital, Taipei.

The country is famous for having a large number of convenience stores, but the population's love of fast-food has resulted in residents consuming a vast amount of bottled beverages - up to 4.6 billion a year.

 Another interesting project to reuse the material for architectural form.

Beer+Sunshine = Hot Water

A Chinese farmer has made his own solar-powered water heater out of beer bottles and hosepipes.
'I invented this for my mother. I wanted her to shower comfortably,' says Ma Yanjun, of Qiqiao village, Shaanxi province. Ma's invention features 66 beer bottles attached to a board. The bottles are connected to each other so that water flows through them.

The DeBRICK Project

The idea of the project is to reuse debris (building components that come from the demolition of buildings), to concentrate dust and to put them together, so to form a new building material, the deBRICK. Debris (mostly the non-recyclable), dust, bacteria, PET (which comes from the recycling of plastic bottles) is the consistency of the deBRICK.

Plastic House

Homes made from Plastic Bottles + Greenhouses

Thousands of pieces of trash that would otherwise be clogging waterways and landfills in Nigeria have been turned into sturdy, and surprisingly attractive, construction materials in the village of Yelwa, where the country's first plastic-bottle house is drawing curious visitors and plenty of press.

Parameterizing the Dynamics of Slums

Approaches to Urban Slums

eVolo 2011 Honorable Mention for “Seeds Of Life” by Mekano Studio

A city piled high of trash, they call it ‘garbage city’ and it seems unstoppable. People started to get used to the situation which will lead to a huge trash covering the whole city and from another point, grabage can’t be moved outside the city.
The problem leads to another, as there is lots of diseases and polution.

Manshiyat Naser Urban Vision / Amar Ya Masr Organization

Open publication - Free publishing - More amar ya masr

This is an interesting study and design proposal for this slum proposed from one of new social organization "Amar Ya Masr".

The study is in Arabic language basically but in brief, I'll try to write some useful information in the next lines.
