Hemp for rural building construction. A tool for sustainable development in the Colombian post-conflict scenario
In Colombia, rural communities often face transportation difficulties, unemployment and precarious housing situations aggravated by their isolated condition. This work aims to analyse how architecture can contribute in changing agricultural economy. The research focuses on the application of architecture as a strategy for sustainable rural development through the cultivation of hemp for the production of building components. In order to assess this possibility, a hemp-based prototype house was design for the providence of Toribío, one of the poorest areas in the country and also one of the most important marijuana’s production centres in Colombia. This project could be replicable in other rural areas and could contribute to build sustainable multifunctional landscapes able to improve local economies and entrepreneurial capacities of their communitiest.
