The Zero-Waste Pavilion is a design experiment rooted in the principles of circularity and responsible making. It challenges conventional construction by demonstrating how architecture can be built without generating waste. Using standard-sized planar plywood sheets, every component is digitally fabricated with precise slot and lap joints—ensuring zero offcuts, zero adhesives, and 100% reusability. At its core, the pavilion is not just a space for 75 people—it’s a system. A system where design begins with the material's limits, where geometry serves fabrication logic, and where assembly is reversible. The outcome is a modular, low-impact structure that reflects how computational design can enable mindful, zero-waste architecture in practice.
