Successful cut and reuse of mushrooms slabs

A major milestone of the rebuiLT project has just been completed: combos of reinforced concrete mushroom slabs and their connecting columns were cut from a disused warehouse, safely moved, and reassembled in a nearby schoolyard in record time. The rebuiLT project is an EPFL MAKE project led by dozens of highly-motivated students for the past 3 semesters. Their ultimate goal is to build a full-scale community pavilion using only low-tech solutions: reuse of concrete and windows, bio-sourced insulation, revisited vernacular heating systems, natural depollution systems, and so on. A great deal of Structural Xploration Lab researchers and teachers is involved in the mentoring of the students. Congratulations to the rebuiLT team for this splendid first achievement!
