Architectural Design V-IX: Re-Use "selon arrivage" (GD Buser)

Abstract

In addition to the design and practice, knowledge on the topics of circular economy, CO2 balance, pollutants and component logistics will be imparted. Reuse projects that have already been implemented will be presented and visited.

Objective

- Respect for the existing, recognizing the identity - Reversal of the design process, construction with rescued / found materials - Understanding of the component hunting (dismantling, component logistics) - Circular construction, dismantability, circular economy - Calculation of the CO2 savings when reusing - Expansion one's own noosphere

Content

Design, construction, re-use The design program focuses on the reuse of components divided into three phases: 1. Handling of components and materials, component hunting and dismantling. Through dismantling workshops, the students will learn the theory, but above all the practical side of dismantling. 2. The students will deal with the collected components in order to design and construct building systems and elements in the form of mockups. 3. The researched and developped building systems and elements will be applied to a real case. In addition to the design and practice, knowledge on the topics of circular economy, CO2 balance, pollutants and component logistics will be imparted. Reuse projects that have already been implemented will be presented and visited.
