Processing of materials

In this task, you will build a mock-up focusing on design for disassembly.

The task is done in continuation of the activity Construction drawing, where you have created construction drawings to carry out a mock-up.

Teacher's guide:

6. Wood_EN.pdf

In groups of 2 people (5 1/2 hours)

Based on the construction drawings you created in the task 'Design for disassembly - construction drawing,' you will now build your mock-up in the workshop. The task can be done using reused wood, but it can also be easily done with the wood available at your school's inventory.

Your mock-up should be based on a building part, such as:

  • Foundation
  • Floor joists
  • Floors
  • Exterior wall
  • Interior or exterior cladding
  • Windows
  • Roof details
  • Furniture or interior

Finally, answer the following questions (25 min):

  1. What do you think about building structures that can be disassembled and reused?
  2. What challenges are there in building structures that can be disassembled?
  3. What has been difficult about designing and building for disassembly?
  4. How is it to work with reused wood in general?
  5. Why is it important to reuse and build things that can be disassembled and repaired?

Evaluation and feedback (60 min):

  1. Present your mock-up to the class and the instructor.
  2. Provide feedback and evaluate the task.
