Circular Paviljoen

In recent years there has been a raised awareness among architects about the careful use of materials with global attempts to reduce CO2 production urging a deep reflection regarding where our building materials come from and how we put them together. Therefore, notions of circularity are gradually becoming more prominent in architectural practice, just as a greater interest is emerging in poetic reflections on the effects of materiality has on spatial experiences and atmospheres. The first buildings ever built at the TU/e, the Paviljoen on the North-East side of the TU/e campus, are currently being carefully dismantled so that certain parts of them can be reused in a new building to be realized on campus. This project focuses on the Paviljoen’s disassembly process and how those components will be reused to create new spatial experiences and atmospheres.
