Since the industrial age, people are relying on ever-increasing technology to fulfill their needs. This philosophy brought us lots of drawbacks and an unmanageable amount of waste, not to mention the value of craftsmanship being progressively forgotten. This project aims at rethinking the basic relation between objectives and means and ultimately recapture simple ways to build for a better and simpler tomorrow.

Its development explores weak material’s potential in the fabrication of one of the most archetypal and universal construction component ever, the brick. Mostly experimental, it proposes recycled cardboard as the basis to create brick-related elements and how this strategy could minimize waste while suggesting new construction logics and outcomes.
