Abstract
Menneskets indvirkning på jorden er sjældent positiv, og ressourcerne bliver stadig færre. Denne specialeafhandling tager et kritisk kig på den retning, som samfundet har udviklet sig i, og i forlængelse heraf den etablerede byggeindustri. Ved at bruge nedlukningen af den danske minkindustri som et case på, hvordan affaldstræ kan anvendes, udvikles hypotesen: "Træ fra minkfarme, som ellers ville ende med at blive genanvendt, genoprettet eller blive affald, har potentialet til at blive genanvendt som tømmer til brug i designet af nye bygninger." Det sigter mod at sammensætte en proces for, hvordan det kan gøres i overensstemmelse med gældende reguleringer. Gennem kortlægning af tilgængeligt materiale fra minkhaller og nuværende procedurer til testning, verificering, dokumentation og klassificering af materialer til byggeri demonstrerer vi, hvordan genanvendt træ kan anvendes, og hvilke skridt der er nødvendige for at integrere det i den etablerede praksis. Ved at anvende computational design og fordelene ved det opstår der en struktur, der viser potentialet ved at omforme den traditionelle designproces. Vi går ind for en materialeorienteret designproces, der udnytter materialet som en metode til bæredygtigt design, hvor egenskaber og karakteristika, struktur og atmosfære, får lov til at udvikle sig, samtidig med at materialeanvendelsen i arkitekturen optimeres.
Humans’ effects on the earth are rarely positive and with resources becoming ever more scarce this master thesis takes a critical look at the direction that society has been advancing and by extension the established building industry. By using the demarcation of the Danish mink industry as a case for how to employ waste wood the hypothesis is developed; “Wood from the mink farms that otherwise would end up being recycled, recovered, or becoming waste has the potential to be reclaimed as timber for use in the design of new buildings.” It seeks to compose a process of how it can be done while complying with current regulations. Through mapping of available material from mink barns and current procedures for testing, verifying, documenting, and grading materials for construction we are demonstrating how reclaimed timber can be used and what steps are necessary to integrate it in the established practice. By employing computational design thinking and the advantage of computational design a structure emerges to demonstrate the potential in reshaping the traditional design process. Advocating for a material-oriented design process that exploits material as a method for sustainable design, where characteristics and properties, structure, and atmosphere are allowed to develop while optimizing material use in architecture.
