Abstract [en]

Interior walls are one of the biggest environmental culprits in office renovations. With this project I want to consider a new way to radically alter the layout of public spaces without producing waste. 

The purpose of this project is to investigate the potential for using brickwork as an inspiration for adaptable walls in offices and public spaces. I will explore how sustainable, lightweight materials such as hemp or wool can be used to create lightweight “bricks” with acoustic properties. These bricks are assembled in an accordion-like structure that allows the wall to be extended, folded and to create various shapes. 

By rethinking the interior wall, I have created a circular system of semi-permanent walls that can transform offices, workspaces and meeting rooms at will, and allows for an affordable and sustainable alternative to costly and disruptive renovations. With a leasing system the walls are part of a circular business model.

Using brickwork as an inspiration, and a way to connect innovations to architectural history, this project explores the possibilities inherent in the modularity of bricks.
