You Built Your House with What?

ge_science

The architect Ban Shigeru uses paper tubes to make his buildings. It sounds like a strange idea, but he was not the first to build with paper. In 1922, an American named Elis Stenman built his whole house using newspapers. The house has a wooden frame, but everything else is newspapers. The papers are rolled up and painted to make them strong. The paper is excellent insulation so the house is cool in summer and warm in winter.
Stenman’s purpose for building with newspapers was to show people how much useful material we waste. Newspapers are not the only useful thing that we throw away. How about beer bottles? In 1984, monks at the Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple in Thailand helped each other to do something about the pollution in their area. The monks talked to the people and the businesses to donate their used beverage containers. The reason why they did this was that they wanted to show people how even old beer bottles could be useful, so they built their temple using a million glass beer bottles.
