Workshop | Disassembly
Future Cities Laboratory | ETH Zurich
Having chosen Prof. Dirk Hebel Building for Disassembly studio for my 6th semester of Bachelor, in which we will be asked to design a housing-unit that could entirely be disassembled, we were asked to take apart a Volkswagen 1987 as hands-on experimentation.
This exercise was an opportunity to identify the construction mechanisms that possibly allow for disassembly and the ones that don’t. As a studio, we gathered more than 4’500 pieces and edited a compendium of disassembly-friendly technics, enabling materials to be taken apart.
