Reuse in architecture |
![]() |
2012 Architects views re-use as an integrated design strategy. Working under the name Superuse Architects 2012 is busy creating a knowledge database for the simpler and more efficient use of re-use in the construction industry. However, ecological considerations are not the prime motivation. Equally important, in their view, is the creative inspiration they draw from the potentialities of recovered objects. The qualities that are inherent in used products and materials offer potential added-value when incorporated in new products and compositions: the ready-made principle of art applied to architecture. For 2012 the re-use concept applies as well to the material world as to energy, human resources and water. Ultimately leading to very contemporary design integrating all of these aspects. The PBS documentary series Design e2 has a close look at the idea's and creations of the three leading architects of 2012 Architects.
