Circular economy principles commonly aim for standardization of building elements to achieve high versatility in ideally multiple use cycles. This approach aims at practical, predictable and optimized solutions, (often) neglecting other valuable but more complex, and non-standard material artifacts. This paper proposes a methodology for a material-dependent design approach that aims at implementing material variety into architectural systems assembled from reused components.The methodology builds on discrete design techniques: discrete parts are assembled into aggregations, but instead of universal standard parts, a collection of similar, but all different predefined elements is used. Discarded bicycle frames serve as a case study to demonstrate potentials and challenges.
