Arjan van Timmeren and Alex Wandl (Urbanism, BK Bouwkunde TU Delft) discuss their ideas about circular cities with experts from all over the world at the Futurebuild 2019 event that will take place in London on 5-7 March 2019. The prototype of the REPAiR decision support system can be tested at the event.

On 22 January 2019, the Circular Built Environment Hub in collaboration with EIT Raw Materials organised a workshop on remanufacturing of building products at the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment. The event attracted stakeholders interested in moving the building industry towards a circular economy.

Together with producers and clients, researchers from BK Bouwkunde and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute) developed a prototype circular kitchen. This kitchen can be renewed almost indefinitely and adjusted to individual preferences, meaning it is a kitchen for life.

Critical materials are materials which we need for current and future product technologies, but which are now or soon difficult to acquire. BK Bouwkunde is part of the consortium SusCritMat, which aims to educate people from industry and academia about important aspects on critical materials.

On 22 November, architects, engineers, researchers, professors and students will speak about circular deployment, approach and renovation of existing buildings and their environment. The largest building in the Netherlands – the AMC - serves as a case study.

On 30 September the winners of the Circularity in the Built Environment Graduation Award 2020-2021 will be announced. This annual award recognizes the contribution BK graduation students make to the transition towards a circular built environment and aims to stimulate research and innovation in the field of circularity in the built environment.

On 4 October, the BK Talks 'Not in my backyard. Citizen engagement in the circularity era' will take place.

In the sight of the CHARM (Circular Housing Asset Renovation & Management) project, various webinars are being organised on 23 and 24 February.

On 4 March, the webinar 'Is een keuken voor het leven mogelijk? Een webinar over de voorlopige onderzoeksresultaten' takes place.
