Structural Exploration Lab

The Structural Xploration Lab at EPFL, led by Corentin Fivet, focuses on revolutionizing architectural structural design by promoting the reuse of load-bearing components in buildings. Their research aims to drive sustainability in the construction industry through circular economy practices, developing computational tools for designer-machine collaborations. They explore new directions in circular structural design, prototype construction techniques, and assess environmental impacts to minimize material usage. The lab's activities include teaching structures and construction systems to architects, contributing to the Smart Living Lab's multidisciplinary research on user-centered building technology.
