Reassembling matter. Rethinking structures. The construction industry generates billions of tones of construction and demolition waste every year, yet most of this material remains excluded from structural applications due to its irregularity, unpredictability, and incompatibility with conventional building systems. Granulith investigates an alternative approach, asking whether demolition waste can be transformed from a discarded by-product … Read more
Dynamic Casting of Functionally-Graded Geopolymers Using Urban Excavation Waste Thesis Abstract It is estimated that in the next 15 years, the world will generate over 3 billion tonnes of waste; in the European Union alone, 35% originates from the construction sector due to demolition, excavation, and dredging (“28 Incredible Statistics About Waste Generation,” 2021). These … Read more
Introduction Trencadis is a form of Mosaic art formed and developed by Architect Antonio Gaudi using discarded broken tiles. This was done by hand back then of course. Nowadays , with progress in the development of technology, robotics are nowadays used in accurately stacking bricks upon one another, 3D printing as well as placing pieces … Read more
Bio-Receptive Interfaces is a performative multi-material clay-based system for indoor environments, integrating hydrogel vascularity to host an ecosystem of cryptogams and vascular plants. Fusing biological intelligence with embedded sensors and AI, it sustains a prolonged hydration cycle, purifies air, sequesters carbon, and reintroduces ecological presence into synthetic indoor worlds—transforming sealed spaces into living, responsive, multi-species … Read more
