Architecture is one of the most energy intensive and wasteful industries on earth. Each year millions of tonnes of potentially re-usable building materials – timber, concrete, metals, prefabricated systems and fixtures – are destroyed or wasted in the process of demolishing or refitting existing buildings. In response to this wastage, ADS11 will investigate how architects can research, deconstruct and design architecture as a way to recycle and meaningfully contribute to circular economies. What does it mean to deconstruct one building in order to make another?
