Abstract

This article is a result of a bibliography research. It intends to verify the possibility of using not conventional materials for building up low cost houses, maintaining usual sizes and prices that poor people can pay. By means of this study it was possible to notice that, in the constructive systems used so far, there is a predominance of cement and wood which are not considered proper for use in the northeast of Brazil, in terms of thermal discomfort, price and lack of wood in this region. The purpose of this research is to discover a building system involving clay and trash as a result of clothing industries, vegetable fibers and plastic bottles.
