ReCraft aims to rethink the way we source building materials by minimizing waste and keeping materials in the industries loop. We reclaim demolition waste and transform it back into valuable resources, rediscovering its potential through traditional craftsmanship. By valuing non-standardized materials, we enable unique design possibilities and empower a local resorucefull craft indusrty. This project is a collaborated effort between Karoline Cecilie Aigner, Matti Elias Göran Kemppainen and David Maximilian Schneider.
How can the reuse of construction and demolition waste be a systemic practice, rather than an exceptional?
The Waste issue
Around 40% of globally extracted resources are used in the construction industry. Approximately 35% of waste generated in Europe and 40% of waste in Denmark comes from the construction and demolition industry. Why do we generate so much waste if we extract so many resources?
Demolition Waste as a Resource
This project aims to minimise the generation of waste, focusing on the waste streams generated during the demolition process. It examines cases where prevention is no longer an option, looking into the demolition process and what happens to the materials afterwards.
Materials we sourced from our 3 different case studies.
Strategy
Our Strategy for transforming demolition waste into refined building products consists of 4 steps:
1.Sourcing
2.Designing
3.Crafting
4.Production
