Winner - ReUse

Abstract

The REUSE seminars of the Master’s program take place in a unique setting in Switzerland— the PopUp workshop, jointly created by HEIA-FR and EPFL in 2014. The PopUp serves as both a pedagogical tool and a prototyping space, encouraging new ways of thinking about construction through raw materials. Students engage in full-scale experimentation with real components, fostering creativity beyond conventional frameworks and equipping them to address environmental and social change by rethinking the production of the built environment.
