Sustainability University Network. The ROUTES Toward Sustainability University Network Sustainability, born in 2012, is a partnership of twenty association of twenty universities from different continents that hosts symposia, conferences, lectures, talks, study programs conferences, lectures, study programs and projects and projects from an interdisciplinary vision on sustainability.
This book is based on a multidisciplinary multidisciplinary approach, which integrates cultural cultural elements of the humanities,
environmental environmental humanities, design, economics, urbanism and urbanism and innovation, to understand to understand conceptions of sustainability from a complex from a complex and systemic perspective, addressing different areas of knowledge and

This approach that interprets SDG 17 has been applied in the research courses of the Architecture Faculty of Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana. In these courses, real problems in specific regions of the national territory serve as a starting point to contribute to the training of the architect from the perspective of social responsibility. Specifically, this text focuses on the Sustainable Environment research course, which took as a case study the corregimiento of Nueva Colonia (Turbo-Colombia) to propose technologies that reconfigure positively urban and rural areas. These technologies are proposed as a response to the social, cultural, and economic realities and the conditions that govern construction activity in the region. Based on participatory design as a working method, students design tools that allow collecting information about the perception that the community has of their territory with the purpose of determining basic design guidelines defined collaboratively to provide solutions to the habitat and the built environment. These guidelines derive mainly from a reflection on technology in the construction of social housing, socio-environmental relationships, and their repercussions for the sustainable configuration of the built environment. To achieve this goal, students research on eco-efficient materials and local waste that can be used as construction material or raw material, and which are preliminarily evaluated using circularity and life cycle criteria. In this sense, this text seeks to highlight specific results of eco-efficient materials and waste from the banana industry.

It convokes universities from many countries to present models of housing, which are very efficient with water, energy and other resources. This competition was created by the US Department of Energy and has been taking place for 14 years in different cities around the world. This year, the event was carried out for the first time in Latin America, specifically in Cali, Colombia. In this version, new components and conditions to the housing design appear; they must be consequent to the real life in the Latin America tropical context. The UPB (Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana) decided to conform an interdisciplinary team in order to participate in SSLC 2015. With students and teachers from 8 different faculties, the project was developed in agreement with competition rules, academic requirements for students and the guidelines of sustainable design. The results that have been obtained until now are very positive in several aspects: The object of the contest, what is the design of a sustainable housing model (which will be developed in a future document) The academic and educational experience through the interdisciplinary and collaborative work. In this text, we will focus on the matter of educational experience. We understand this opportunity is a pilot project. This project has allowed us, students and teachers, to understand that to obtain a project which is really sustainable, it is

Currently, in this sector and, specifically, in activities aimed at innovation in materials, raw materials and associated products, the reuse and recovery of waste is attractive. The fly ash from coal burning (CV), the spent catalytic cracking catalyst from the petrochemical industry (FCC), and the silica fume from the manufacture of silicon and its alloys (HS) are man-made pozzolanic materials. They have been analyzed with the purpose to improve the characteristics of both mortars and concrete. In the field of composite materials for construction, glass fiber reinforced cement (GRC) is the most widely used, due to its excellent mechanical properties (resistance to bending and toughness). However, the durability of these composites has been demonstrated to be critical and alternatives need to be proposed. The used fibers, alkali-resistant (AR fibers, formed by grouping of filaments), are attacked by the aggressive medium imposed by the hydrated cement. An interesting alternative, from a technological point of view, is the incorporation of supplementary cementitious materials of pozzolanic behaviour. The purpose of this research is to study the influence of the different mineral additions in GRC mortars, observing the behaviour of the constituent elements of the material under normal curing conditions and controlled aging processes. Likewise, the behaviour of new composites subjected to different aggressive environments is analyzed, evaluating the durability and improvement of the compounds by determining their mechanical, chemical and physical properties.
