DESCRIPTION:Benjamin Poignon\, baubüro in situ\, Zürich.\nThe Structural
  Xploration Lab invites Benjamin Poignon\, from baubüro in situ\, Zürich
 \, to present the recent design of the Kopfbau Halle 118. The talk is part
  of AR-497 Building Design in the Circular Economy.\nThe Kopfbau Halle 118
  is the last improvement planned in Lagerplatz\, a former industrial area 
 in Winterthur (CH). Stiftung Abendrot\, owner of the place\, asked Baubür
 o in situ to propose a renovation and extension of the building using only
  re-used materials. The goal is to rehabilitate the building and add three
  floors to it\, to create 4300 m3 of workshops and “ateliers”. The arc
 hitectural development had to be rethought as a back-and-forth process: in
  parallel\, the architects must develop the design\, search the correspond
 ing construction materials\, and adapt the design to the materials found. 
 As a result\, we now work in a new paradigm where form follows availabilit
 y. This lecture explains this ongoing process\, the difficulties we encoun
 ter and the solutions we found.\nBarbara Buser and Eric Honegger founded b
 aubüro in situ in Basel in 1998. Together with a wide-ranging structure o
 f project-related pop-up companies\, they are working against a “society
  of value destruction”. Their projects are often located outside the usu
 al architecture discourse\, and would not be possible without the commitme
 nt of architects\, users and sustainability-minded clients.\n
