summary |
This research project investigates how glass from existing buildings can be extracted, redesigned and re-used through computational design and fabrication methods. Glass is a fundamental building component in the built environment, and at the same time the material with the highest environmental footprint per kg. With the current trend of a high glass-to-opaque building façade ratio, glass remains a central, important and problematic material for architecture. The studies are focused on experimental methods through material studies, computational studies and the making and observation of a full-scale demonstrator structure from harvested building glass. The method (water jet technology) proposed extracts around 90% of the glass, with the articulation method (sandblasting) providing significant transformation capabilities by re-designing the light, thermal and reflection properties with minimal removal of the material by computational models. |
