Abstract
While the global impact of plastic waste is increasingly concerning, the
application of reused materials in the built environment remains little
explored. This paper presents research into the reuse of plastic in
architecture by means of computational design and robotic fabrication.
Design possibilities using reclaimed plastic artefacts were explored by
testing their structural stability and robotically modifying them in
order to create a pavilion. While the design conceptualization started
with the reclaimed material and the analysis of its potential, the
digital workflow involved generative and performance- driven design,
structural optimization and geometry generation for robotic fabrication.
