Prof. Corentin Fivet is invited at the La Cambre/Horta school of Architecture (Université de Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium) for a talk on "Upcycling Design, or how to recover the carrying capacity of waste", as part of the conference series on the "Culture du bâti" curated by Laura Ceriolo.
The intervention addresses the challenges and opportunities of reuse in construction, the role of design to enhance the intrinsic qualities of recovered components, and the potential that such an approach provides in terms of constructive quality and environmental gains. Corentin Fivet will present the activities of the Structural Xploration Lab, whose research aims to make load-bearing structures in buildings more circular.
