Since then, numerous projects have adopted the system, and the demand from architects, structural engineers, and municipalities is growing rapidly. With the goal of enabling immediate industry adoption, the developed fabrication method is readily implementable in most prefabrication facilities.n Maxence Grangeot is an architect and PhD researcher at EPFL in Switzerland. He develops new methods for reusing large concrete rubble from demolition into load-bearing structures, through the pragmatic use of digital processes and existing construction machinery. He applies his expertise about concrete reuse to projects at various scales, in partnership with architects, structural engineers, construction companies, prefabrication facilities, recycling centers and associations. maxence.grangeot@alumni.epfl.chFig. 1: Prefabricated structural walls from large concrete rubble (Re:bble Prefa).
