Re-Building Marghera: Build, un-build, re-build

We at POLITAIN inspire to promote a change not only in the way buildings are built, but to incorporate an idea of circularity among people. Building materials like concrete and steel, while strong, are hardly reusable today. In fact, the use of materials like the concrete structural-frame construction has more associated energy use and hydrocarbon emissions due to more form-work used, larger transportation impacts due to a larger mass of materials, and longer equipment use due to the longer installation process.Headed by architects who are experts in building technology, we aspire to develop a building technology that is not only sustainable and green, but is also reusable, and usable by anyone and everyone. Aside from developing new building technology, we at Politain, also strive to change the mentality of the community on the topic of circularity, and hope to raise awareness through workshops and other community activities
