Corentin Fivet

Corentin Fivet is an Associate Professor at the Structural Exploration Lab (SXL) within the College of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Surveying (ENAC) at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). His work bridges structural engineering, computational design, and circular economy principles.

• Research Focus: Sustainable construction, reuse of building materials, structural optimization, and digital tools for circular design.
• Teaching: Courses on Building Technology I, Architecture and Sustainability, and Building Design in the Circular Economy.
• PhD Advisees: Current and former students include Maxence Grangeot, Meera Mahadevan, Jan Brütting, Célia Küpfer, and others.

Recent publications highlight innovations in concrete reuse (e.g., RE:SLAB, FLO:RE), computational frameworks for stock-constrained design, and multiscale environmental performance analysis. His work emphasizes reducing embodied carbon through material lifecycle strategies and generative design tools.
