Thesis Abstract
The utilization of reclaimed materials in building construction offers a sustainable approach to resource conservation and waste reduction. This project aims to investigate the potential applications of reclaimed materials, such as reclaimed wood, bricks, metals, and other salvaged components, in contemporary building design and construction. The research will focus on the environmental benefits, structural performance, and aesthetic considerations associated with using reclaimed materials. Additionally, the project will explore the challenges and best practices for sourcing, processing, and integrating reclaimed materials into building projects.
