Algorithmic Assembly procedure for Upcycled Concrete Rubble

Abstract
This thesis, developed within the Master of Science in Digital
Architecture and Emergent Futures, investigates how an
informed and conscious architectural design can contribute
to a circular construction model by rethinking the role of
reclaimed materials -concrete rubble for the purposed
scenario- in the design and building process. The motivation
comes from the growing urgency to reduce embodied carbon
and minimize the extraction of virgin resources. Rather than
focusing solely on reducing material quantities, the project
explores how reuse and upcycling can become a key element
in the design logic, transforming what is typically considered
waste into a valuable architectural resource.
The work proposes a digital framework... (More)
