GLENN MURCUTT ON MATERIALS

As architects, one of the greatest problems we face and very few of us think about it , it is
no matter how beautiful we design something no matter how beautifully it is constructed
chances are we are creating a great destruction to some other places in other words the
sourcing of our material generally we are destroying somewhere that may be absolutely
wonderful for example : to form aluminium a huge amount of energy and effort is put into
it . human effort is renewable source but on the other hand non renewable resources like
timber and raw material involved in the process of making aluminium is non renewable
resource. Instead of wasting the non renewable resource the aluminium can be recycled .
the aluminium can be changed to itself and glass can be. The most important thing about
this is that we put the materials together in a appropriate way so that when we pull them
apart they can come apart properly and be reused.
