The study presented in this paper is part of ongoing research that is exploringhow digital design tools and technologies can support waste cardboard reuse formanufacturing architectural elements in a context of scarcity. For this study, weexplore the use of a parametric design tool to design and fabricate three differentarchitectural components using waste cardboard sheets: acoustic panels and twotypes of formwork for concrete. This design tool maximizes the smart reuse of awaste material and aids in the fabrication process by outputting instructions forcutting, scoring, and folding. This paper also demonstrates how parametricdesign tools can help reuse non-standard (dimensions variable) waste materials,mediating between measurable material conditions and desired material targetsfor designs.
