DESCRIPTION:Jan Brütting\, Doctoral assistant in structural design\, Stru
 ctural Xploration Lab (SXL)\, EPFL | Smart Living Lab\nThis presentation o
 f Jan Brütting (SXL) shows a new direction in structural design: the synt
 hesis of structures through the reuse of elements. Reusing structural elem
 ents reduces the environmental impacts of building structures because it a
 voids sourcing new material\, it reduces waste and it requires little ener
 gy. \n\nDesigning structures from reused elements is unlike conventional s
 tructural design because stock element availability is a design input. In 
 other words\, structures must be designed subject to availability of given
  element characteristics such as length and cross-section type\, which hav
 e a major influence on the optimal structure layout and form. In this new 
 paradigm structural form follows availability.\nWe present new computation
 al methods for the synthesis of reticular structures to address two scenar
 ios: a) reuse of reclaimed elements from a given stock\, and b) design o
 f an element stock which is used as a kit of parts to build diverse struct
 ures.\nFor part a) the most recent theoretical findings and applications o
 f the method are presented. This includes the design of spatial truss stru
 ctures as well as frames for office buildings. For scenario b) the design\
 , robotic manufacturing and assembly of the SXL’s “1-to-3” pavilion 
 is showcased. The pavilion was part of an international exhibition at the 
 IASS conference\, held in October in Barcelona.\n\nThe smart living lunche
 s take place once a month from 11 am to 1 pm in Fribourg to present the re
 search activities of the Smart Living Lab. A networking lunch is served af
 ter the presentation. These events are designed for the Smart Living Lab's
  community. \n
