Pioneering the future of construction re-use.
NuBau: New European Bauhaus for the smart re-use of reinforced concrete
NuBau: New European Bauhaus for the smart re-use of reinforced concrete
NuBau aims to tackle two major challenges facing construction: the carbon associated with producing new building materials and the large volumes of waste created when buildings are demolished, with valuable materials often crushed or recycled into lower-value materials rather than reused in new structures.
NuBau Strategic Objectives
S01: Review of existing compression typologies and recommendations
S02: Develop a range of typologies using structural optimisation algorithms
S03: Develop a range of typologies using sustainability criteria
S04: Create an adaptable co-linked protocol for aesthetic co-design
S05: Implement co-created re-use design from donor buildings
S06: Construction of a beautiful, sustainable, compression structure from concrete voussoirs
S07: Validation of sustainability, aesthetics and structural integrity
S08: Demonstrate the economic and commercial viability of new build typologies from re-use
S09: Secure Stakeholder buy-in by supporting cross-border policy development and societal acceptance to foster future mass re-use
S10: Demonstrate sustainable supply chain logistics
S11: Deliver pilot facility
