GARBAGE HOUSE

A living space is conceived from products that are not originally produced for building materials, although they can still have that characteristic. Although the addition of the word "garbage" is not essential to the collective term, together the two suggest an entirely new paradigm towards private space and the necessary architectural conditions required to sustain life. The notion of the house does not necessarily tie to the materiality of its construction, except for primitive structures that employ unique building materials.

Example: The Heineken Factory in 1960 made an effort to have their bottles hold a second life as a brick. This was encouraged after Alfred Heineken visited the Caribbean Islands. He wanted to turn the bottles into a sustainable material for the locals to use.

A redefinition of this term, "garbage house" should begin to articulate how the collection of space and daily functions can become synonymous with the spirit of the materials out of which the space emerges.
