The conference ‘Crossing Boundaries, towards a circular, sustainable and vital built environment’ will take place from 23 to 25 March 2021. Ad Straub, Ruben Vrijhoef and Sultan Çetin-Öztürk (TU Delft) are members of the scientific committee of this conference.

During the Week of the Circular Economy, PhD candidates from the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment will present and discuss the circular aspects of their current research with practitioners.

While circular economy policies and initiatives are gaining momentum, their spatial implications remain largely unexplored. The third debate in the 'Making the Circular Built Environment a Reality' debate series focuses on the spatial dimensions of the circular economy. The Circular Built Environment Hub invites institutes, organisations and individuals to participate in this interactive session that aims to identify spatial conflicts, synergies, and potentials, paving the way for a future Circular Netherlands.

On 14 December, the symposium 'Architecture and Doughnut Economics' takes place.

On 18 December, Sultan Çetin Öztürk defends her PhD thesis 'Towards a Circular Building Industry Through Digitalisation: Exploring how digital technologies can help narrow, slow, close, and regenerate the loops in social housing practice'.

On 5 December, Tanya Tsui defends her PhD thesis 'Spatial approaches to a circular economy: Determining locations and scales of closing material loops using geographic data'.
