Second wind — Reuse of prefabricated concrete elements from obsolete buildings in new construction
Second Wind focuses on reusing concrete elements from obsolete buildings in new construction. Located in Helsingborg, Sweden, this project is done as a part of ReCreate, an EU-funded project (2021-2025) happening in Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, and Germany. ReCreate aims to promote the reuse of precast concrete elements in new housing projects. Helsingborgshem, the municipal housing company in Helsingborg, is an active participant in this project, targeting the development of row houses and two-floor apartment buildings in Drottninghög, an area currently undergoing a 20-year regeneration process. The row houses will be rental units, utilizing donor elements from existing buildings in the area, showcasing the value of otherwise wasted materials. The project aligns with the broader goals of ReCreate, focusing on sustainable construction practices. The ReCreate project involves academic and industry partners across the four countries, working to construct practical pilot projects. My collaboration with Felix Jansson and Evelina Andersson, master's students at Dalarna University, integrates their LCA study comparing reused concrete, timber, and new concrete structures, using the design proposal of the rowhouses as a subject. Their study provided invaluable insights, structural elements' environmental impact, underscoring the potential of reuse. The project’s reverse design process utilizes existing elements, requiring innovative adaptations. This approach, initially challenging, revealed significant benefits, spatial benefits. Reflecting on past housing developments and romanticized rural life, the project seeks to uncover and celebrate the strengths of 1960s social housing.
