The end of the disposable building: reuse of building materials and lessons from fast fashion

Conference proposed by NOVABUILD

Speech by François Terrien, Managing Architect, TERRIEN Architectes

Moderated by Pierre-Yves Legrand, Director, NOVABUILD

Like “fast fashion”, “disposable” building, based on a rapid construction-demolition cycle, generates considerable over-consumption of resources and waste. Let's take a look at how the reuse of building materials, no longer seen as waste but as resources, can reduce the impact of buildings, while retaining their aesthetic and functional dimension. In addition to reinventing a new materiality, reuse also enhances the value of know-how.
