Event Description

NUHUD is a circular housing system for post-war Syria that turns 38.5 million tons of concrete rubble into modular, code-compliant homes for returning families. Two mobile, on-site plants crush and treat debris to produce 100% recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), cast into precast columns, beams, and wall panels.

Guided by the Jordanian Building Code and verified in TEKLA, the system reaches 33.7 MPa compressive strength, exceeding the 30 MPa requirement for low-rise housing. Mobile prefabrication and modular design reduce construction time and cost by ~30-40%, cut concrete-related CO, emissions by about 40%, and create a replicable prototype for devastated districts like Jobar, Damascus.
