Circularity in the built environment

It is necessary to increase resource efficiency by closing, narrowing and slowing loops in the built environment. Circular design principles help mitigate climate change, reduce energy consumption, recover biodiversity, reduce pollution and lower geopolitical tensions. What are these circular design principles, and how can we implement them?

Circular Built Environment Hub

The Circular Built Environment Hub brings together researchers and lecturers from the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment to promote synergy and develop and disseminate knowledge about circularity in the built environment.

Biobased design team starts

The Biobased Design Team studies designing with wood and other biobased materials and teaches students about the possible applications.
