| summary |
The research presented in this paper aims to expand the design and fabrication space for building with mixed mineral construction and demolition waste (rubble) by utilizing granular jamming in combination with lightweight textile containers. Despite the wide availability of rubble and the persistence of destructive demolition processes, there has been relatively little research on its application in architecture. Often considered a low-quality material, rubble, a granular material, has the inherent potential to form structurally stable geometries through confinement. In this paper, we aim to take advantage of this quality and present a rapidly deployable building system and fabrication concept for compression-based vertical building components. The research methods consist of rubble analysis and categorization, and the development of packing, layering and pouring strategies tested through physical prototyping. Although in its early stages, the research demonstrates the potential of bringing unprocessed rubble back into architecture as a low-cost sustainable material resource for large-scale aggregate structures to combat one of the world's largest waste streams. |
