Non-Standard Material Art as an Alternative Development of Recycled Architecture

The architectural world’s reliance on off-the-shelf building materials has led to the issue of standardised replication in building design. On the one hand, modularity helps the scientific logic of construction, but it often causes constraints on creativity. The research aims to build another perspective in developing recycled architecture through counter-perspectives. The research method uses a literature study to build a concept using the case of the other, a different perspective and a critique of modern planning, by comparing a) Phenomenon vs Noumena; b) Natural vs Artificial; c) Standard vs Non-Standard; d) Composition and Non-Composition; e) City and Village; f) Science vs Art; g) Architecture vs Other Architecture; h) Product vs Process; i) Permanent vs Non-Permanent; j) Vertical vs Horizontal. The findings are art as an alternative field of recycled material development in the case of natural-growth architecture. The research output is the perspective and direction of non-standard material development to construct recycled architecture. The novelty of the research is the concept of alternative development as another polar of modern architectural trends so that architects can more freely develop creativity and aesthetic aspects, resulting in a variety of uniqueness.
