Seminar Circular Building 2017-2018

Themes and Thoughts on Circularity

Master students in architecture design circular renovation scenarios for their faculty building

After familiarizing themselves with the concept of circularity by exploring the RESOLVE framework (Ellen McArthur Foundation) through different case studies, the students develop 6 circular renovation scenarios for the main building of the faculty of Architecture & art.

Each scenario starts from a different challenging issue: better water management on campus, enhancing the biodiversity, making the building fit for a broader use, solving comfort issues of the building, using the building as a demo for regenerative materials, and no more use of fossil fuels.
