Reuse On-Site (Genbrug på Matriklen) explores a reverse design process – one that begins with existing building materials and rethinks how architecture can emerge from what is already there.

Led by Arkitektskolen Aarhus and supported by Realdania, the research brings together architects, researchers, engineers, contractors, and reuse specialists to investigate direct reuse on-site, from timber and bricks to steel and insulation.

We are proud to be part of the publication, contributing to bridge research and design, alongside six Danish architecture studios and a wide interdisciplinary team.

The publication documents:
– Design processes with close to 100% reuse
– Digital environmental mapping & 3D scanning
– Non-destructive testing methods
– New workflows for dismantling and reassembly

Reuse On-Site is available in both Danish and English: https://lnkd.in/ehDCEfrA
