Glass bottle house [alternative saves the earth]

Greetings, how are you steemit friends? Hopefully keep the spirit and healthy always, today I will discuss about the use of recycled materials as home building materials, especially the use of glass bottles, may be useful.

As we know, the bottle is a storage container and is usually used to store liquids.

While the house is a residential building for a long time, along with the development of knowledge and technology forms and the use of home materials more dynamic

BOTTLE

Glass bottles have an important role in the development of human civilization, a bottle that was originally only used as a container / storage of liquid can now be used for other things.

Glass bottles have a narrow neck and have a larger body, the bottle can be made of anything like glass, plastic and even clay.

The earliest history of glass bottles began around 7000 BC, glass craftsmen originally produced only beads made of natural glass, then around 1500 BC glass bottles began to be produced. [1]

The American jar industry began in production in the 1600s when people in Jamestown built the first glass-smelting fire, the glass industry of that era including expensive industries because the production system was still manual by relying on glass blowing by workers.

The British soft drink maker in 1872 designed and patented a bottle model created to store carbonated beverages. [1]

After going through various evolution forms, glass bottles finally have their own place for drink users. Beverage producers create various models of glass bottles that depict lux beverages contained in glass bottles.

Today glass bottles have proven its existence to accompany the heyday of human civilization and become part of a valuable discovery.

HOUSE

The house is a human habitation for a long time, the house can be made of any material such as wood, stone and so forth. [2]

Houses include basic human needs so that every human is worthy to make their dream home.

In traditional societies, homes have an important role in representing social standing and becoming an identity for a culture or nation.

In accordance with the needs and availability of resources so human be more innovate in realizing a house.

We can see how traditional Japanese houses and traditional Acehnese houses, certainly different because of customs, habits, and climatic conditions that affect the shape and needs of space.

A good house should have good construction, efficient, energy efficient and resistant to extreme weather changes, every home should have air circulation, good lighting and comfortable for the user.

USE OF GLASS BOTTLE FOR HOUSEHOLD MATERIALS

An architect is required to be sensitive and care about the environment so that every result of environmentally friendly design, the architect makes comfortable indicators as a success in designing.

Utilization of waste and recycling to save the earth from waste is a top priority of today's engineers, so recycled materials are considered a wiser choice.

Glass bottles will usually be recycled by destroying them and creating new products, such as glass, plates and so forth.

The use of glass bottles into home materials is one step to recycle waste faster, because each glass bottle can be directly used.

Glass bottles will be cleaned and arranged in iron frames to be used as partition walls.

Ridwan Kamil who works as an Indonesian architect has proven that glass bottles are the right choice. [3]

He uses glass bottles as partitions as well as natural light sources, the selection of glass bottles as partitions actually makes the house more attractive.

Almost the entire room gets natural lighting and can save energy usage.
The lack of use of glass bottles as a material is.

• Complex treatment process
• Easily broken

The plus is.

• The building facade looks unique
• Clean and shiny
• No need painting
• Can get better natural lighting
• Material is cheap and easy to find
• Easy to clean

Glass bottles can be easily obtained because many users do not use them so the opportunity to create a glass bottle house is still possible.

The process of installing glass bottles to make a wall can be done quickly considering the bottles are only arranged on iron frames that have been assembled.

By utilizing waste and recycling then we have made a small step to save lives on this planet.

Glass bottles are a small sample that can be utilized, the use of waste materials as recycled materials is a wise choice to make home construction materials.

In addition to creating attractive designs an architect must also consider the energy-saving aspects and the use of environmentally friendly materials.

The house of the glass bottle is an example of appropriate technology with the goal of recycling waste by utilizing the aesthetics and understanding of functions then this technology can be used optimally.
