Maxence Grangeot

Maxence Grangeot serves as a Doctoral Assistant at two research laboratories within the Institute of Architecture at EPFL's School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering: the Structural Exploration Lab (SXL) in Fribourg and the Laboratory for Creative Computation (CRCL) in Lausanne. He is concurrently enrolled in the Doctoral Program in Architecture and Sciences of the City (EDAR).

His research centers on sustainable construction methodologies, with primary focus on digital upcycling of concrete rubble. His doctoral thesis develops innovative processes and physical demonstrators for constructing walls using large concrete rubble pieces, addressing critical waste reduction challenges in the building industry. This work integrates computational design with material science to advance circular economy principles in architecture.

Grangeot contributes to both the Structural Exploration Lab's investigations into sustainable material systems and the Laboratory for Creative Computation's exploration of digital fabrication techniques. His cross-laboratory engagement demonstrates a commitment to bridging theoretical research with practical architectural applications through computational approaches to material reuse.
