Reclaim Design
Availability-oriented design methodology
In an era of climate change and resource scarcity, Reclaimed Design presents a paradigm-shifting methodology that redefines how reclaimed lumber is integrated into architectural design and construction. By leveraging advanced computational tools, material analysis, and machine learning, this research introduces a comprehensive framework to maximize the structural and aesthetic potential of reclaimed wood, promoting sustainability, circularity, and innovation in the construction industry.
