Gypsum Concrete
Arquitectura en Corto invites you to the screening of Gypsum Concrete, which will take place on Thursday, June 13, at 7:00 PM at the Roca Barcelona Gallery (c/Joan Güell, 211). Directed by Simon Pénochet, the short film documents the research conducted by the French architecture studio Ciguë to replace cement with gypsum in floor screeds for a project in Montreuil, Paris. Gypsum is a material with a long history of use throughout the Paris region; it is recyclable and readily available through urban mining processes. A series of tests on samples produced by Ciguë, combined with a comparative life cycle analysis, demonstrate that this material is a viable alternative that drastically reduces CO2 emissions. Following the screening, architect Sara Ferran, a partner at taller11—where they are currently conducting similar research—and Albert Sagrera, an architect, environmental consultant, and co-founder of Societat Orgànica, will lead a discussion. Sagrera is an expert in the environmental impact of materials, life cycle assessment, and construction waste management.
