A wooden railing from an old public swimming pool is transplanted to act as a new staircase. A ceiling grate from a motor room is revamped into an atrium railing. Lumber from a sauna becomes a ceiling. Tile long-ago hidden shines again.Â
Oslo’s KA13 is a groundbreaking project that used ‘donor-buildings’ whose materials were heading for the waste-stream and transplanted them into a new office building. The project is Norway's first of its kind and puts reused building materials on center stage.Â
Â
MAD Architecture’s Åshild Wangensteen Bjørvik will lead us through the process of building KA13, and tell us how she did it.
Presented by Parsons Healthy Materials Lab and Circular City Week with support from the Norwegian Consulate.Â

Mad thinks that good architecture and design must be founded on knowledge about the local community’s needs and local context, and we always design on behalf of the city. For us, each project is extraordinary – and we want all our projects to contribute to a positive and sustainable change.
We always challenge established practices in the search for new and better answers to how we can better meet climate and social challenges, with architecture, design and knowledge of urban and location development. We challenge each other, our customers, advisers and municipalities to find the right solution for exactly the place and the task we are working on at all times.
Today we have a leading position in Norway regarding architecture and design based on reusable materials, and our goal is to inspire for more reuse, and reuse architecture, around the globe.
