 : \n\n\n\n\nThe construction sector stands out as a major contributor to E
 arth's pollution levels. Yet there is a growing trend for buildings to be 
 demolished\, even though their components are in excellent condition. The 
 reuse of these components in new construction activities represents a circ
 ular strategy offering significant environmental benefits\, including redu
 ced greenhouse gas emissions\, waste\, and material extraction. While this
  approach has yet to reach its full industrial potential\, it is reshaping
  designers' workflows and prompting the development of new computational m
 ethods and construction processes. After a contextualization of the curren
 t state of practice\, Prof. Corentin Fivet will discuss recent research ou
 tputs from EPFL's Structural Xploration Lab and their potential societal i
 mpact\, with a focus on the reuse of obsolete timber\, steel\, and concret
 e elements in new building structures.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the speake
 r: \n\n\n\nCorentin Fivet is Professor of architecture and structural desi
 gn at EPFL where he develops computational methods and design processes to
  increase the circularity of building structures. Under his direction\, th
 e Structural Xploration Lab (SXL) is a frontrunner in the areas of structu
 ral optimization and groundbreaking large-scale demonstrator projects with
  reclaimed waste. From April 1st\, he will be the Academic Director of the
  Smart Living Lab\, located on the EPFL campus in Fribourg.\n
