Regeneration of Urban Village Memory by BENTU DESIGN
Inorganic Growth is a research-driven project by BENTU DESIGN that converts construction waste from demolished urban villages into 3D printed urban furniture. By combining material reactivation with digital fabrication, the initiative transforms discarded concrete, brick rubble, and mortar into printable composites with cementitious performance. The developed material contains up to 85% recycled solid waste, positioning demolition debris as a reusable resource within a closed production system.
The project, featuring a chair and stool made from recycled construction waste, integrates material recovery, on-site processing, and additive manufacturing into a continuous workflow. This localized cycle reduces transportation…
