The Robot Lab of the HvA Faculty of Technology invites you this project showcase. Based on the “Circular Wood for the Neighborhood” project, the showcase will demonstrate how robots and digital design tools can be used to convert materials released during home renovations into high-quality applications.
The showcase program consists of an introduction to the Robot Lab and a presentation of the three applications that have been designed and made from residual wood in recent months. Project partners Metabolic, the municipality of Amsterdam and housing corporation Rochdale share their vision on circular wood and these applications. Finally there will be time to discuss results, findings and challenges with you.
Program:
Welcome – Tony Schoen, project coordinator, HvA
Introduction of the Robot Lab – Marta Malé Alemany, head of the Robot Lab, HvA
Circular Wood – its relevance – Nico Schouten, researcher, Metabolic
Three Case Studies – Marco Galli, senior researcher at the Robot Lab, HvA
Circular Wood – vision of the Municipality – Désirée Bernhardt, municipality of Amsterdam
Circular Wood – vision from the Housing Corporation – Ato Cardna, Projectmanager Development, Rochdale
Dare to Ask – Audience
The showcase aims to provide a new perspective on the reuse of residual flows and to provide inspiration for new circular applications of valuable raw materials such as wood.
