The Circular Design Atlas is an online open source database intended for educational purposes on a non-profit basis. It accommodates a series of case studies researched and analysed by students across the material, component, building, as well as the neighbourhood, city and regional scale. We have tried to be careful with third-party rights, such as intellectual property rights, on visual material we have cited in order to make these case studies possible.

The K.118 project has emerged in response to the pressing global concern of climate change. It is driven by a set of innovative strategies, including the utilization of reused locally sourced materials, biomaterials, the repurposing of architectural elements from old buildings and the adaptable nature of its shearing layers. This culminated in the creation of a lightweight structure placed atop an existing industrial warehouse which harmonizes seamlessly with its surroundings. As a pioneering architectural endeavor, the K.118 project proposes new tools for circular building design with lowered carbon footprint.
