“De wijze van bouwen en materialiseren moet veranderen,” aldus Arjan van Timmeren, hoogleraar Environmental Technology & Design aan de TU Delft. Meer dan 35% van de wereldwijde uitstoot van broeikasgassen is afkomstig uit de gebouwde omgeving, waarvan een derde specifiek gerelateerd is aan de productie van bouwmaterialen zoals beton, metaal en kunststoffen. Naast klimaatverandering zijn er nog andere uitdagingen waar de bouwsector mee te maken heeft, zoals schaarste van grondstoffen, gezondheidskwesties en de noodzaak om voldoende woningen te bouwen.

Kom op 6 juli naar de Faculteit Bouwkunde voor een openbaar debat over de transitie naar een circulaire gebouwde omgeving.

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.

The Circular Built Environment Hub will host the second Summer School on Circularity in the Built Environment from 5 to 7 July 2023.

Are you going to graduate this academic year on a topic related to circularity in the built environment? Then participate in the fourth edition of the Circularity in the Built Environment Graduation Award.

Op 14 december geven Tillmann Klein en Martijn Veerman de Urban Energy Institute lezing 'Façade as a Service'.

The symposium aims to engage a number of colleagues in a discussion about our current pedagogical approaches for circularity, but also about ways we can go about for teaching in times of uncertainty.

On 13 October the winners of the Circularity in the Built Environment Graduation Award 2021-2022 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.

During the past year, a series of actions have been put in place to support the integration of circularity in BK curricula. The official launch of the Circular Impulse Initiative program will take place on 16 September. A short presentation of all the actions of the Circular Impulse Initiative has been scheduled and will be followed by drinks.

The Circular Built Environment Hub of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment will host the Summer School on Circularity in the Built Environment.
