Redaelli Dario

Prof. Dario Redaelli is a Full Professor at the Fribourg School of Engineering and Architecture (HEIA-FR), affiliated with the Institute of Built Environment Technologies (iTEC). His work focuses on advancing sustainable construction practices through innovative materials and structural systems. He leads projects like the Reuse Living Lab, aiming to promote circular economy principles in construction by optimizing component reuse.

His research emphasizes ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC), modular structural systems, and construction waste reduction. Key contributions include the development of the RE:SLAB system for multi-generational building structures and studies on UHPFRC durability and application in retrofitting. Collaborations with institutions like EPFL and industry partners highlight his translational research approach.

Recent projects include NextEarthBuild (2019–2022), which explored recycled excavation soil as a construction material, and Build-Unbuild-Repeat (2017–2019), creating reusable structural frameworks. His work bridges academia, industry, and administration to drive systemic change in construction practices.
