The conference “MÉTAL” is now available for replay !

A symbol of the industrial revolution, the rise of metal in construction, used for the halls of major railway stations, and in urban spaces, through public furniture, accompanied the renewal of Paris under Haussmann. Its origins in blast furnaces bind it to an imaginary carbon footprint, sometimes justifiably so, since the carbon footprint of aluminum can be multiplied by 10 depending on where it is produced. How can we rethink our production chain and exploit the recyclability of most metals? While metal is still widely used in facades, it is becoming rarer in structures. In terms of the circular economy, however, it’s a promising material because it’s easy to disassemble. Is this enough of an advantage?

With Antonin Yuji Maeno, founder of Cutwork, Manon Leconte, founder of Maximum Architecture, Patrick Lepense, Product & Segment Lead Manager at ArcelorMittal and President of Construire Acier and Cyrille Terrolles, Director of Innovation at GHM Eclatec.
