The REECO-SOIL Project is presented at RYS2025

21-10-2025

The Regenerative Retrofitting Via Ecologically Active Soil Structures (REECO-SOIL) project and the advances of the proposed systematic literature review were presented online at the 1st RILEM Youth Symposium on Building Materials and Construction (RYS2025) by Dr Alejandro Jiménez Rios, PI of the project.

REECO-SOIL's objectives, methodology, and preliminary results were presented. It was discussed and concluded that the potential benefits of the REECO-SOIL approach are significant: improved thermal insulation, expanded urban greenery, enhanced biodiversity, and healthier indoor and outdoor environments.

The REECO-SOIL Project Has Officially Started!

This morning we had our kick-start meeting with the REECO-SOIL team bringing together an incredible group of collaborators: Dr. Juliana Calabria-Holley (Co-PI), Prof. Francisco Javier Castilla Pascual (Co-PI), and Anushka Gupta (Research Assistant). It's fantastic to see the energy, ideas, and expertise everyone is bringing to the table!

The project, Regenerative Retrofitting Via Ecologically Active Soil Structures, explores how biologically active soils and drone-based technologies can transform existing buildings into greener, healthier, and more sustainable spaces.

Let the regenerative green retrofitting revolution begin!
