What will our future cities, public buildings or homes look like and how will they be constructed? Given the climate challenges of today it is clear that we cannot continue to waste material in the same pace as we have done historically, and one way to reduce the impact on the environment is to keep the materials in use for as long as possible. We all know that concrete has a high impact on the environment and it is actually the second most used substance in the world after water, and the most widely used building material by far. Obviously it is best to never demolish buildings but in cases where demolition or major alterations is necessary, reuse of the building material is key for a sustainable industry. This will have an impact on how buildings are demolished, designed and built. For this diploma project explores what would happen if we instead of crushing obsolete concrete structures could cut them into smaller pieces and build something new out of it.
