Mix
and Match prototypes a design and fabrication process
for utilizing waste lumber leftover from building construction. Over 90% of
single-family houses in the United States are wood-framed, and this project
seeks to find alternative uses for the spent facilitator lumber, including lumber for
shoring and concrete formwork, that accompanies this economical construction technique. Mix and Match turns this waste lumber into a gridded wall system that can be reconfigured into various
spatial arrangements. The
wood for this project was salvaged from our Emory Park housing development in Dallas, Texas.
