Lecture Series 'Alles Beton?' - Corentin Fivet

Description

As part of the autumn series 'Alles Beton?', Corentin Fivet discusses under the title 'Waste No More - Design with Concrete Reuse' his research at EPFL on the reuse of concrete in building construction. Concrete has shaped the civil engineering profession and the entire construction industry for decades – technically, aesthetically, and culturally. As a building material, it is inexpensive, extremely easy to use, and therefore almost indispensable in many areas. At the same time, hardly any building material is so much in the focus of criticism today: its energy-intensive production and high CO₂ emissions demand a fundamental rethink. This change is used as an opportunity to discuss current positions, questions, and perspectives of civil engineering and high-rise construction. Civil engineers from practice and research provide insights into their daily work through concrete projects and questions. The focus is on new approaches to dealing with load-bearing structures, alternative materials, hybrid construction methods, as well as changed thinking and working processes. The autumn series highlights the opportunities that arise from this for a sustainable, resource-conserving, and economical building culture.
