About this role
GTB Lab is a specialised circular construction research laboratory and one of the very few organisations globally testing and applying Reversible Building Methodology (RBM) through purpose-built digital tooling the RBIM platform. The lab's research integrates reversible design theory with digital building passport frameworks, physical building prototyping, and industry consortium implementation. We are seeking a researcher with deep, applied expertise in the RBIM digital methodology specifically in the circularity diagnostic, classification and analysis of building methods, material composition and building and material reversibility including the quantitative calculation of reuse potential and its environmental impact. What you will do: 1) Apply the RBIM protocol and tool to model and assess building circularity and reversibility with associated reuse potential of building materials. This process takes into consideration analyses of functional technical and physical dependencies between building materials within building and product structure 2) Classify connections using the full RBIM connection typology matrix from A1 to D4 3) Identify and evaluate intermediary elements determining whether there are intermediary component between different functional groups of building materials 4) Develop assembly and disassembly sequence hierarchy and stapes 5) Calculate reuse potential of building components and assemblies using RBIM methodology integrating element condition assessment, connection reversibility classification, end of life and modelling scenario into quantitative circularity outputs. Delivering report including embodied mass and CO2 in materials as well as material and CO2 potential savings. 6) Contribute to GTB Lab research publications, technical reports, and industry consortium deliverables. Master in architecture and higher degree required. Good knowledge of REVIT software and circularity principles. Be part of one of the world's most pioneering circular construction research labs. An inspiring, international environment where your expertise directly shapes the future of reversible building and circularity.
