Abstract
The reuse of building materials has a long tradition in construction. More recently, the concept of digital materials envisions universal building blocks, that can be reused and reconfigured multiple times, like Lego© bricks, and placed freely in any structurally sound assembly. We continue our investigations along this trajectory, by exploring mass-produced everyday objects, mined from the waste of our consumer society, to produce those reusable and universal building blocks. We investigated the potential of such an approach through a computational design & build case study realized in an educational context: a summer igloo comprised of an aggregated shell structure with 10.000 reused wire hangers. We present design methods, materials selection processes, as well as fabrication and assembly strategies. Lastly, we discuss the impact of a creative and multiple reuse of standardized construction components for the construction industry.
