Arquitectura y Agua: notas para su reflexión y aproximación a su optimización

Abstract

Why recycle? Does what I do make any difference? For these simple questions, there are no simple answers but elaborate justifications. These notes center in the field of architecture and what happens to water and with water in the built environment. The object of these notes is to sensitize on the problem of the use and waste of water in architecture and its mismanagement as a vital resource: its use, waste, treatment, recycle and reuse in the project, in the building process and in operation. “To care for water is to care for life”.
