This studio will concentrate in the design, development and prototyping of building systems based on recycled paper and cardboard to be used in the building of living units and/or other functional structures.Site & community: A cartoneros (informal paper scavengers) collective in Cordoba, Argentina. Largely unemployed or working in informal jobs --men mostly work in construction and women as housemaids, these collectives live in the outskirts of the city in villas miserias (slums) and survive or compliment their income by scavenging paper and cardboard.
