It is possible to use recycled polyethylene tereftalate in architecture: architectural interior,
detail, designing and education.
This research concluded, that one of the best applicable ways of this waste material in archi tecture and design is its industrial transformation into filament which can be transformed into
various products. The problem is, that the outputs are limited by size of the additive manu facturing (3D printing) machine and time of facilitation. Solution to both limitations will be
presented through use cases, experimental studio designs and research projects. The 5 years
lasting research has proven where and to which extend can recycled polyethylene tereftalate
be used in architecture and where it touches the thin border between architecture, interior
architecture and architectural detail.
Last but not least, a motivation to apply this material in architecture and design touching
ecology and environment will be briefly discussed, hoping in the possible worldwide impact
of making recycled polyethylene tereftalate a regular and accepted material to be used in
architecture, interiors and architectural details.
