Abstract
Sustainable has recently become the favorite subject of many disciplines due to sustainable development. Nowadays, due to the environmental problems of the construction industry, the development of materials, products, and methods of construction, sustainable architecture leads to higher efficiency, better economic cost, and environmental sustainability. It can be supposed sustainable development means preserving nature also fulfil the human needs through modern technologies. One of the goals of sustainable development is to construct with less energy consumption and a long life that in this part, materials play an important role in content production. the most important role that materials and structures can play is to help people survive natural disasters and respect nature by using it properly. For example, in some areas, floods and rainfalls cause many Life and financial damages, and on the other hand, some countries by consecutive droughts try to manage drinking water. Meanwhile, it is claimed that with the help of smart materials, these wastes can be prevented and using optimization of environment and renewable energy. Creating this harmony between man and nature has given rise to a new challenge in many fields. For this reason, this paper seeks to address the challenge of using thirsty concrete, a type of smart material and sustainable architectural innovation, to coordinate between old, present and future structures. Therefore, by using a qualitative method, these materials will be studied and some samples would be used, followed by a quantitative method of analysis of the usage of these materials in Baris Park in Kyrenia which is the intersection of historical place and contemporary one.
Highlights
IntroductionThe 20 to 30 percent empty spaces in this kind of concrete has made it different from the kinds of concrete
Porous, permeable, no-fines concrete is some of the names of the thirsty concrete
At the beginning by Grounded theory will try to collect some information about thirsty concrete and describe the characteristics, Correlational which is mostly observational in terms of data collection try to analyze the case study
Summary
The 20 to 30 percent empty spaces in this kind of concrete has made it different from the kinds of concrete This criterion has made it to have the ability to let 880 gallons per minute to pass up to 36000 m illimeters of water per hour (Tarmac.com 2019). By having this information using this material over the common and traditional kind of concrete and material, the accidents related to the running water can be prevented, by using the pervious concrete the ground water and fresh storage can be enriched. In the rainy areas, the thirsty concrete helps the water cycle and preventing the surface running waters to cause damage
