On 18 September, Visiting Professor Joanna Williams will give the public lecture 'Circular cities: a revolution in sustainable urban systems' at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.

This book summarizes the panel discussions held during the Architectural Education in Times of Uncertainty Symposium (2-4 November 2022, TU Delft).

“The way we construct our buildings needs to change.” says Arjan van Timmeren professor of Environmental Technology & Design at TU Delft. Over 35% of our global greenhouse gas emissions are attributable to the built environment. A third of that amount is specifically related to the production of abiotic (non-renewable) materials such as concrete, metals and plastics. The associated challenges are not only climate related, but also concern resource scarcity, health and housing provision.

Join us on 6 July at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment for a public debate on transitioning to a circular built environment.

The summer school focuses on how circularity can help inform and develop desirable futures further inquiring on the actions required to scale up and accelerate the transition.
