What if students from Architecture, and Building Technology worked together with students from MBO to develop circular building products? How would a systematic exchange between them affect their learning? And would it lead to designing and making building products differently? This was the challenge for the students of the interdisciplinary elective course ‘Circular Building Product Design’: to design a comprehensive building system using bio-based materials and then build 1:1 prototypes of these systems together with students of ROC van Amsterdam | BouwAcademie Amsterdam. The results can now be seen at The Green Village.
