Bellastock is a collective of architects that has been developing pioneering expertise in France since 2012 in the reuse of building materials, along with a broader reflection on transitional urbanism.
In this context, Hugo Topalov, an architect and engineer, explains the origins of the Bellastock collective, its main activities, and the evolution of its various missions (project ownership assistance, project management, training, and awareness-raising). Highlighting the diversity of their initiatives, he reflects on recent projects involving reuse, and the processes these approaches entail (management of supply chains, procedures, and insurance).
