**ReForm** explores how discarded formwork timber can be transformed into a valuable architectural resource through computational design and localized material reuse. Responding to the environmental challenges of construction waste and timber scarcity, the project proposes a decentralized workflow that assesses, grades, and repurposes reclaimed timber using accessible digital tools. Material variability becomes a design opportunity, informing assembly strategies and architectural systems rather than limiting them. Demonstrated through interventions for Copenhagen's evolving urban landscape, the project presents a scalable approach to circular construction that extends the lifecycle of timber while reducing waste, transportation, and carbon emissions within the built environment.
