Focus on The Bottle Houses and analyze the Advantages of vernacular architecture.
The bottle wall or bottle house technique provides various advantages for the glass houses, sustainability, aesthetics, cost-effective waste management, and bulletproof. In terms of aesthetics the bottle house construction is beneficial for a small community like the Cape-Egmont community, it becomes a unique attraction which brings in tourists and improves the GDP of the country. Its structural components consist of the binder, typically a motor or clay and glass bottles making them structurally sound and stable and can resist bullet shots. Cost-effective waste management- millions of water and wine bottles are discarded yearly into landfills so reusing this material turns these discarded bottles into eco bricks which save cost and reduce the levels of energy that is consumed producing concrete. Arsenault's artefacts brought life and a personality to the city bringing its locals and visitors together to witness a unique and significant moment, the bottle house village. The building is not only effective for its sustainable qualities but the site as well which promotes healthy living within nature as well as taking care of your environment and the community.
