Abstract
Recycled plastic is an immense resource that is literally going to waste. The Aarhus School of Architecture is therefore engaged in research and development in the field of using recovered plastic in the building trade and supply industry to produce knowledge in how plastic waste can be recovered and reprocessed to be (re-)introduced as a building material and thereby reduce the CO2 footprint in construction.
Recovered Polycarbonates – Shredding Suburbia’s Carports
Using recovered polycarbonate – coupled with an iterative design prototyping process – knowledge is accumulated, to move creativity to new frontiers in geometry, tool collaborations, environment interaction and tectonic studies of plastic component productions, to build form and production.
The artistic research is founded upon a design, and development – build process, where new knowledge is accumulated via explorations of material tectonics, patina, and performance - from laboratory to construction mock-ups. The technique of artistic research development focusses on recovered plastics, that:
• explores new forms of material tectonic expressions
• can be re-processed sometime in the future for further applications and uses
