Last week, two dozens bachelor students from ENAC joined the Smart Living Lab in Fribourg to design and build 5 benches made of local industrial waste. The one-week workshop is a 'semaine ENAC' organized by the Structural Xploration Lab for students in architecture, civil and environmental engineering. Named "Constructive Second-Hand", it invites students to identify the embedded technology in recurrent waste and use design as an opportunity to reclaim that lost technology in the best way possible. This year brief for each group was a bench.
