The Structural Xploration Lab (SXL) of EPFL is pleased to invite you to the vernissage of the RE:CRETE prototype, a footbridge built from reused concrete blocks, on Monday, 11 October 2021 at blueFACTORY, Fribourg, at 17:00.
Waste from a building renovation site, the blocks have been sawn from a wall and reassembled into a post-tensioned arch. Mortar joints compensate the dimensional variations that are characteristic of the reuse practice. RE:CRETE paves the way for new construction paradigms that drastically reduce the environmental impacts of the construction industry by applying the principles of circular economy.
