Symposium: The architect’s roles in the Circular Economy and Circular Society
03 February 2021 08:45 till 13:30 - Location: Online (livestream) - By: Communication BK | Add to my calendar
Architects are increasingly involved in circular assignments, but what exactly is expected of them? They each try to contribute to circularity in their own way. Circular construction is not yet fully developed and there are questions about the potentials and limitations of circular economy and degrowth, regarding energy, materials and economy.
These and several other questions will be discussed in the online symposium 'The architect’s roles in the Circular Economy and Circular Society', organised by the NWO research project 'Circularcity' in collaboration with the Circular Built Environment (CBE) Hub of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.

Circularcity project
Research project ‘Circularcity’ is funded by NWO Creative Industry KIEM. The project explores the roles of contemporary Dutch architects regarding circular economy in the built environment.
Circular Built Environment Hub
The Circular Built Environment Hub is a platform for researchers of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment with the aim to promote the development of knowledge towards a circular built environment that enables the design of future buildings, cities and infrastructures.
