ECOMATERIALS
The term eco materials is a new one
In Cuba where new buildings are made of environmentally-friendly materials manufactured in their own towns at a low-cost, the materials are called ecomaterials because they are both ecological and economic.(read an article on a recent example of this philosophy)
In the United States, the term eco materials is applied by architects as part of their description of a sustainable building "culture" (visit this website to get a better understanding of this approach)
We have a vision on ecomaterials
that is a hybrid of these approaches. The materials are a matter of personal choice - natural or manufactured, but always within reach of low income families-
or which can be grown by them-for example bamboo (visit here for info on how to grow bamboo at home
