Material Reuse: A Conversation with Bellastock, Rotor and Rural Studio

#FranceAtlanta2021 | Material Reuse: A Conversation with Bellastock, Rotor and Rural Studio

Rethinking the building material cycle is an urgent ecological necessity. The work of Bellastock (Paris 2006), Rotor (Brussels 2006) and Rural Studio (Newbern, Alabama 1993) provides a fascinating window into the myriad challenges – logistical, economic, formal, social – to reusing building materials and components. The specific contexts and circumstances of their origins and their continuing evolution offer lessons and inspiration to all of us: students, building industry professionals, activists and concerned citizens.

Panelists:
• Antoine Aubinais, Bellastock
• Susie Naval, Rotor
• Rusty Smith, Rural Studio
• Moderator: Sabir Khan, College of Design, Georgia Tech

This event is organized by the Atlanta Office of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the United States and the Georgia Institute of Technology with the support of Bellastock, Rotor and Rural Studio.
