Today we talk with Kaushik Selva Dhanush Ravi. He studies Integrated Building Systems at ETH Zürich and explains to us what this Master programme and new study area is all about. Kaushik envisions a construction sector, which is sustainable and with a larger municipality engagement (top down) to reinforce the use of recycled materials and increase the circularity of materials. Did you know that the embedded energy of the construction is very low and more sustainable when using sand as a construction material?
Together with other participants of the Transalpine Journey, Kaushik founded Urban Click. As it develops, Urban Click aims to create an online platform to enhance the use of recycled materials in the construction sector. The goal is to include many different sized stakeholders, to bring transparency into the secondary material use through data exchange and collaboration. and in the long-term, to use technology to systemize constructions of recyclable and reusable buildings.
