Our project address the undifferentiated recycling of concrete waste, and aims to develop methods of achieving full reuse. Using advanced 3D modeling software, we optimised the utilisation of concrete fragments from planned demolitions. These fragments were scanned and compiled into a database for our exploration. Inspired by the dynamic tensegrity system, we pursued a typological approach to assemble the concrete fragments. Practical investigations into nodal connections were conducted to ensure feasibility. Our mission is to revolutionise concrete reuse and establish sustainable recycling practices for a more environmentally conscious future.
