This work explores alternatives to single-use formwork for concrete-based construction and forming alternatives for housing in low-resource development contexts. Fully or partially prefabricated structures that employ reinforced concrete to make building elements typically depend on expensive formwork made of wood, plywood, or aluminum materials that often end up in landfills after one use. These strategies are affordable for large-scale initiatives and routine construction in developed economies. There are, however, fewer forming options for professionals and self-builders working in low-resource environments.

This research seeks to take advantage of the abundance of waste cardboard and the material properties inherent in it to design, fabricate, and test low-cost/low-impact formwork to support housing construction with elements made of concrete.
