THESIS

A Methodology for Reuse Embracing a Circular Economy in a CarbonConscious Construction Sector This project aims to explore the restructuring of the construction sector towards a model which embraces a circular economy. This model focuses on the reuse of construction and demolition waste coupled with the integration of low embodied energy materials as a means of questioning the current use of carbon-intensive construction methods. This concept, used together with designing for the specifics of disassembly, adaptability, and flexibility, aims to not only increase the length of the building’s useful life, but allow it to embrace a circular economy. The exploration of this idea begins with the formation of a sample inventory of materials

01. G r o u n d F l o o r P l a n

made up of the reusable constituents of structures due for demolition. This then became the basis from which to design a building which would test these ideas of reuse. Supplementing reclaimed elements with lowembodied energy materials such as dowel-laminated-timber (DLT) the resulting structure aimed to be completely carbon-neutral in terms of its construction. Taking this further, the design then takes on the idea of systematic layering in order to embrace concepts of disassembly, flexibility and adaptation in order to extend the useful life of the structure and it’s individual components to wholeheartedly embrace a circular economy.

ADAPTABILITY

A Methodology for Reuse

ADAPTABILITY The deliberate configuration of space to ensure short, medium and long term adaptability in order to provide for unknown future needs.

Short: The free floor plan and additional unprogrammed space allow the user to use the space as they see fit.

Medium: Independent layering of systems mean services can be easily accessed and retrofitted for change of use.

Long: Dormant capacity of the structure will allow for additional floors to be added should the need arise in the future.

INHABITING THE VOID A double skin facade was employed in order to rectify any imposed limitations of the reuse of materials in design. This comes into play in an even more overt manner as it allows the facades to be altered in relation to one another, responding directly to the immediate needs of that orientation and therefore even further counteracting any downfall which may be associated with the integration of reused or recycled materials.

DESIGNING FOR DISASSEMBLY

The true viability of a structure being part of a circular economy lies in the specific detailing of its connections. A structure which uses dry connections, i.e. those which can easily be reversed, can essentially be referred to as a material bank. This is because the materials can then be repurposed, reintroducing them into use and thus into a circular economy - opposing the

traditional forms of linear, cradle to grave consumption.

BUILDINGS AS MATERIAL BANKS Vectorworks Educational Version The success of the integration of reused materials into design and construction practice depends on the creation of a reliable inventory of materials. This inventory, if based on a regional or local level would facilitate the easy sourcing of waste materials for their integration into design, whilst reducing any associated emissions with regards to transport.

HOUSING

Greystones Social Housing Exploring the Juxtaposition between Concrete and Timber in the Creation of a Multi-Faceted Concept for Residential Design The design of a number of social housing units in Greystones Co. Wicklow allowed for the opportunity to explore how a development like this could impact positively on the local community and culture through the balanced provision of public, private and semipublic spaces. The ground floor provides public cafe and coworking spaces for both residents and community members alike. Ample public landscaping insures continued interaction between the community and the new development. The overall structure of the complex consists of glulam frames which are anchored by a concrete datum at ground floor level and braced

^ 01.

/20

laterally by the implementation of concrete vertical circulation cores. The juxtaposition of these two materials provides for a visual demarcation between public and private areas, as well as between servant and served spaces. The apartments themselves are laid out in such a way that the living areas look out over the sea but also profit from direct light throughout the day due to the deliberate positioning of glazing throughout the space. A terrace in each unit provides outdoor space which can also be opened out, becoming an extension of the living quarters.

In the design of a new primary school for Ringsend my aim was to create a building which would cater not only to its immediate users but also to the wider community of Ringsend. Incidentally, the school grounds become an extension of community space outside of school hours; while the placement of the hall and dining facilities along the street’s threshold allow them to be fully exploited by the community. Given that ideas of formal education have greatly changed in recent years, PPLAN L A N SIN CONTEXT PLANS flexible learning spaces were developed for inclusion in the design which could be adapted to suit any type of education. The structural layout of the school thus stemmed from the pairing of classrooms

special multito allow for the creation of these needs use spaces. Cross-laminated timber walls were pushed to the opposite ends of each classroom, stabilising library the structure and allowing services to be placed along the classroom’s extremities. Glulam frames were used throughout the rest of the structure freeing up floor space for use in every day activities.

The placement of community-centric elements on the public threshold of the site allow for the positioning of the classrooms and learning spaces to the quiet and protected west side of the plot thus reducing distractions during class time.
