Transcript of Cardboard Architecture

  • CARDBOARD ARCHITECTURE

  • Corrugated cardboard

    Corrugated cardboard is increasingly being used in a variety of modern applications, ranging from the printing, packaging and aviation industries to the construction of various indoor elements, including furniture and doors.

  • Advantages

    Low cost material

    Very strong insulate (thermal and acoustical) properties

    Easily recyclable

    Can be manufactured using renewable sources

    Corrugated cardboard possesses a high degree of structural strength and stiffness

  • Cardboard blocks can be prefabricated and mass customised, permitting streamlining on the construction site, and thus improved cost savings

  • Limitations

    Vulnerable to moisture

    Vulnerable to fire

    Vulnerable to temperature change

    Sensitive to ultra-violet light

    Sensitive to various chemicals

    Solutions for many of these issues are currently being addressed and tested by researchers in the field.

  • Ar. Shigeru bans quotes

    The strength of the building has nothing to do with the strength of the material, says Shigeru ban, the expert architect in cardboard architecture

    Even concrete buildings can be destroyed by earthquakes very easily, but paper buildings cannot be destroyed by earthquakes.

  • Christchurch cathedral

    Over 90 enormous 600mm diameter, 20 metre tubes are protected by a polycarbonate roof above, and very solid concrete floor below.

    Sturdy LVL (laminated veneer lumber) inserted beams, lend further substantial support to these tubes.

    The cardboard cathedral will also be one of the safest buildings in the city. It is being built to last 50 plus years and to 100% of the earthquake code.
