POST-EARTHQUAKE SEEDS

Qianbin Xu

Supervisor: Alisa Andrasek

This project explored the idea of industry 4.0 and prefabricated timber components to help the rapid reconstruction of post-earthquake areas, targeting the development of new urban clusters for the recent earthquake devastated town of Petrinja Croatia. Applying sustainable building materials cross laminated timber and the traditional Chinese interlocking joints, it offers significant carbon capture and lighter earthquake resilient structures.

This project will be able to provide the solution of re-inhabitation by introducing new lifestyles reflecting co-living and co-working and high-quality living conditions. Meanwhile, prefabricated timber components can be reconfigured to adapt to future changes.
