How can architecture rethink construction sustainably as the challenge of embodied carbon continues to exacerbate the climate crisis?

A design research program dedicated to advancing the construction industry from linear material consumption to a circular economy, the Circular Construction Lab (CCL) was founded by @felix.heisel in 2020 at @cornellaap. For CCL, circular construction involves activating the built environment as it currently exists for reuse and reconfiguration while designing and constructing buildings that can act as material depots for future assemblies. At this lecture, Heisel will expand on circular construction and the reuse imperative, from CCL’s policy white paper on deconstruction for New York State to his work on residential prototypes designed for future disassembly across Europe.

This event will be moderated by Gizem Karagoz, assistant vice president of green economy at @nycedc.

A circular construction and reuse trade fair, featuring New York–based organizations and vendors, will precede the lecture. Stay tuned for more information!

🗓️ Thur, May 14
🕑 5:30 pm trade fair; 6:30 pm lecture
📍 Frederick P. Rose Auditorium at The Cooper Union
🎟️ Free for League members and Cooper Union students, faculty, and staff; $20 general admission.

Join us this Monday, Nov 24 for a launch webinar of:

Embodying Justice in the Built Environment: Just and Equitable Land Use Transitions in Advancing Carbon Neutrality

(Link to register for the webinar and download the workbook in comments.)

This new workbook provides a framework for centering justice in land use planning for a carbon-neutral future.

This newest guide was created by the Reparative Praxis Lab, Just Places Lab, and the Circular Construction Lab at Cornell AAP; Dylan Stevenson at the University of Washington College of Built Environments; and the Susan Christopherson Center for Community Planning.

Working with the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance leadership and member cities, the research team developed this free, practical guide with question sets and practice stories about how cities can address equities and injustices in the built environment while working to lower embodied carbon. This is the second guide and workbook in the Embodying Justice in the Built Environment series.

The Circular Construction Lab and Just Places Lab, and CR0WD are excited to announce the publication of the co-authored white paper, “Constructing a Circular Economy in New York State: Deconstruction and Building Material Reuse.”

The transition from a linear to a circular construction economy represents the possibility to unlock billions of dollars, introduce thousands of new green jobs, divert millions of tons of waste, and prevent 75% of embodied carbon emissions.

This white paper provides valuable data and recommendations for the policy and practice changes necessary to meet New York State’s climate goals while realizing significant untapped economic potential.

Take a look at highlights from BuildFest 2024 featuring AAP faculty and alums!

Organized and curated by Neal Lucas Hitch (M.S. MDC '24), BuildFest was a five-day live-work festival where academics and researchers built large-scale art installations on the historic grounds of the 1969 Woodstock festival.

Images 1-4: MycoShell - installation by Architecture Lecturer Marta H. Wisniewska's Regenerative Architecture Lab, and Assistant Professor of Architecture Felix Heisel's Circular Construction Lab.

MycoShell exhibits the potential of biological self-growing and adaptive building materials toward a collaborative future of the digital and the analog. MycoShell is constructed of structural mycelium-bound composite panels that have been grown from a local fungal strain of the Ganoderma family on regional agricultural byproducts of corn and hemp.

Images 5-8: Curtain Call - installation by Office Office cofounded by AAP alum Cait McCarthy and Jordan Young (both M.Arch '20)

Curtain Call investigates the use of semi-automated construction methods to test the formal, spatial, and structural capacity of light wood framing. Semi-automated construction is a hybrid method that emphasizes human-robot collaboration and allows human participants at all skill levels to easily engage in the construction process.

A nice BuildFest24 summary by Ellen Eberhardt on Dezeen

MycoShell at Bethel Woods 2024 Build Fest
Cornell Regenerative Architecture Lab and Circular Construction Lab

MycoShell is an installation that exhibits the potential of biological self-growing and adaptive building materials designed to reflect the advancing research of the MycoBuilt project, a cross-disciplinary collaboration of faculty and students in mycology, engineering, and architecture at Cornell University, MycoShell is constructed of structural mycelium-bound composite panels that have been grown from a local fungal strain of the Ganoderma family on regional agricultural by-products of corn and hemp. Additionally reinforced with natural fibers, the result is a bio-based, carbon-negative, and fully circular building component with structural capacities.

Something slightly different today: The Urban Mining and Recycling Unit (UMAR) by Werner Sobek, Dirk E. Hebel and Felix Heisel at Empa Dübendorf has been included into Sustainable Structures - a children’s book on sustainable construction by Kathrine McMillan. Thank you for the reinterpretation of our work for this completely new and so important audience!

Something slightly different today: The Urban Mining and Recycling Unit (UMAR) by Werner Sobek, Dirk E. Hebel and Felix Heisel at Empa Dübendorf has been included into Sustainable Structures - a children’s book on sustainable construction by Kathrine McMillan. Thank you for the reinterpretation of our work for this completely new and so important audience!

MycoShell at Bethel Woods 2024 BuildFest
by Cornell Regenerative Architecture Lab and Circular Construction Lab

MycoShell is an installation that exhibits the potential of biological self-growing and adaptive building materials designed to reflect the advancing research of the MycoBuilt project, a cross-disciplinary collaboration of faculty and students in mycology, engineering, and architecture at Cornell University, MycoShell is constructed of structural mycelium-bound composite panels that have been grown from a local fungal strain of the Ganoderma family on regional agricultural by-products of corn and hemp. Additionally reinforced with natural fibers, the result is a bio-based, carbon-negative, and fully circular building component with structural capacities.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
