In the design and build workshop in San Ginesio, ARCó organised a workshop following circular building strategies. Urban furniture was built from reused and recycled materials. The “design for disassembly strategy” aims to aid deconstruction (demolition) through planning and design. It allows components and materials to be removed more easily, facilitating their subsequent reuse.

We are happy to announce to all friends of Bi0n that we now have set the date for the conference in Sweden. We will gather all partners and the knowledge from our 6 years of experimental building! So save the date and join us in Stockholm.

After telling you how the work was initiated during the Workshop BIØN² #2 Design & Build for Disassembly, here some updates on the results the team achieved during the initiative’s last week.

From 19th to 30th of July 2021 10 trainees attendend the Workshop BIØN² #2 Design&Build for Disassembly in the municipality of San Ginesio, province of Macerata, Italy. The team was welcomed by the members of G-Lab laboratorio di idee, a local youth association, by the municipality and by the project’s main stakeholde, the prior of the confraternity of the Sacconi of San Ginesio. In this edition the workshop is also one of a cycle of three workshops of the Master Circular Architecture: Shapes and Methodologies of the University of Camerino.

The workshop main focus is to build for Disassembly, with reused and recycled materials. A great way to lower the impact on the climate, and upcycle materials to becoming useful again. The workshop will be held in San Genesio, Macerata, Italy on the 19-30th of July.

More information on how to participate coming shortly!

There is still time until April 16th to enrol in the Master Circular Architecture: Shapes and Methodologies. One of the 3 workshops within this Master course will be held by BIØN-partner ARCò.
