Hempcrete . Construction Waste  Palimpsest2023
When remnants of different eras are found in the same layer, we speak of a palimpsest. In her project by the same name, This project seeks to provoke a revaluation of the life cycle of building materials in cities where new buildings replace old ones constantly. 
Lucie designed an architectural object in which pieces of construction waste are linked together by hempcrete. The designs unlock the potential of each fragment to convey narratives and evoke a sense of place. The project proposes a sustainable alternative to construction materials that, at the same time, unveils the hidden stories embedded within debris materials.
