FS23 - Talk 1: Prof. Dr. Corentin Fivet, Waste no more: Structural Design with Reused Pieces

Abstract: More and more buildings are being demolished even though their components are generally in excellent physical condition. Urban mining and reusing them for new buildings and transformations represents a circular strategy with unprecedented environmental benefits, reducing global warming potential, waste, and material extraction. While the approach has not yet reached its full industrial potential, it redefines designers’ workflows and calls for new computational methods and construction processes. In this talk, Corentin Fivet presents recent research outputs from the Structural Xploration Lab, EPFL, focusing on new design opportunities for reclaiming obsolete timber, steel, and concrete elements in new load-bearing applications. Bio: Corentin Fivet is Associate Professor of architecture and structural design at EPFL, Switzerland, heading the Structural Xploration Lab (https://sxl.epfl.ch). Its research mainly focuses on developing computational design methods to ease the reuse of load-bearing elements in buildings. Before joining EPFL, Corentin Fivet worked as a researcher and teacher for two years at MIT, USA. He holds a PhD in engineering sciences from UcLouvain, Belgium. He is the author of numerous scientific publications, is regularly invited to give keynotes in Switzerland and abroad, and has won several awards for his work.
