"The windmill house 2.0" - Wind turbine blade reuse in a minihousing context

Name
Georgios Dimopoulos
Education degree
Master
Subject area
Architecture
Study programme
Architectural Technology
Year
2023

"Windmill house 2.0" is a circularity project that addresses the problematics of wind turbine recyclability and housing shortages. The project takes advantage of the windmills' thin yet sturdy blade structure, to develop thinner wall elements for mini apartments, where each square meter matters. In this way, more people can be housed in less space, and the growing amount of wind turbine waste is upcycled.
