Which actions can you take
to integrate circularity in architecture?
As an architectural designer or engineer, or another member of the design team,

On this webite, 26 actions are proposed to increase the circular potential
of your architectural project.
It is not one big action, but multiple small ones.
Get accurate insights,
make better decisions.
A short introduction.
You have probably heard of a circular economy. Because let's face it: the way we build today is not sustainable. Even worse, It is disastrous. The construction sector accounts for about 50% of the material consumption, is responsible for 35% of the total waste generation, and consumes about 40% of the energy.
As a result, various building materials are becoming scarce and will soon be unavailable, not to mention landfills and incineration and their harmful consequences.
Now, the good news is: we can do something about it! Our actions can have a positive impact on the environment and the people living in it.
This platform offers a set of actions you can take during the design process to proceed towards a circular economy, an economy where the economic activity is decoupled from the consumption of finite resources.
