EPFL has started a new Low-Tech Reversible Construction Demonstration Project

The project wants to apply the concept of Low-Tech and the re-use of components from building in deconstruction to provide a low-carbon and zero-waste habitat.

The project has the following ambitions :

• Reusing components from a building in deconstruction close to EPFL

• Create a Low Tech and dismantable demonstrator so it can be a house and then transform in a communitarian pavilion

• Adapt the Low-Tech concept to urban areas

• Design and built low-techs

• Implement the principles of circular economy to a real scale project
