【 摘 要 】

A cross-disciplinary method has been developed to transform discarded material components to new designs and applications. It is the thesis that discarded material resources in construction represent a triple capital related to energy, economy, and culture and is the aim of the method to support decision-makers and stakeholders with data and physical prototypes in the transition to Circular Construction. The method has been applied to produce 19 full-scale material prototypes designed for disassembly and includes six repeatable steps: Market survey of volumes and availability of components, ideation and analysis matrix, material concept development, material and process prototyping, assessment in terms of 9 criteria representing market, culture, technicality, and environment, and finally dissemination or implementation in the market. For five cases, tools, times and prototyping procedures were documented in Flow-diagrams as the foundation for the assessment of concepts in regard to economy and energy. Results support the hypothesis as LCAs show a lower potential environmental impact for concepts for brick, glass, metal, and wood but not for concrete; architectural visualizations and striking 1:1 prototypes have directly inspired the construction sector and users to further development and implementation; commissions confirm the cultural and commercial potential. The concept of Rebeauty is introduced to summarize the artistic strategies.
