If you go back to the past of mankind, you can see how one of the primary materials for the creation of many objects, and mainly for housing, has been molded and fitted earth.
Today, architects have considered using earth as a building material again, due to the new needs, obligations and desires of both the public and the environment.
Research and development has already begun to create ways in which this type of material can be included in the most sustainable modern buildings.
Among the advantages that can be achieved by using this type of material, is its low cost, because soil from any site can be used for the creation of the building, such as that found around the construction area. In addition, it is a 100% ecological and recyclable material.
New trends in decoration and interior design with technological and sustainable concepts.
Another very important point in the construction of buildings is their subsequent decoration. Nowadays, there are so many technological utensils to add to the home that apart from being decorative products, they also have another function of sustainability to maintain environmental care.
These are some of the current trends in decoration:
