Before Memmo my notes were scattered across PDFs. Now a workspace pulls everything into one place — I see exactly what's still left to study.
As the need for a circular construction industry becomes progressively more apparent, building practitioners are increasingly turning to salvaged building components to construct new projects. Yet the aesthetic potential of reused materials remains underexplored. Drawing from art history, architectural theory and constructed works, this book develops a set of design strategies practitioners might employ to develop thoughtful, architecturally rigorous reuse projects. Author Bailey Bestul illustrates the immense design potential of reuse using nine themes that follow the reader from the initial stages of building planning to the finishing of the interior spaces.
Following an overview of the history of component reuse in building design and construction, the first part of this book, “Planning strategies,” provides recommendations for the integration of scavenged building elements into the larger architectural work. From the “gap” to the “wrapper,” these chapters consider how designers might arrange reused components both to shelter and be sheltered, while revealing the age and flaws of these components for maximum design effect. The next part, “Assembly techniques,” considers how reuse projects might be constructed and the way in which the construction method impacts the architectural proposal. Whether framing with sticks or stacking up stones, these chapters demonstrate the variety of assembly opportunities available for found object projects. Finally, the part on “Finishing” suggests the ways these materials can create experiential spaces that may be variously uniform, deeply complex and highly embellished.
Expanding upon the practical steps outlined in the technical literature, this book provides designers with a set of frameworks for approaching architectural reuse during the more conceptual parts of the design process. It is essential reading for professionals interested in integrating reuse in their architectural practice.

Memmo's summaries are gold before exams. I don't have to re-read 800 pages two weeks before — just the important parts.
The AI chat has saved me the night before an exam more than once. I just keep asking until I get it — no waiting on a study group to reply.
The quizzes hit exactly what I need to know. Memmo tracks what I get stuck on — so I only practice what's worth it.
Flashcards with spaced repetition are magic. Memmo knows when I'm about to forget something and brings it back.
The AI podcasts are my favorite. I listen on my way to school and get a recap without sitting at a computer.
