Building RevolutionsApplying the Circular Economy to the Built Environment

Building RevolutionsApplying the Circular Economy to the Built Environment

The construction industry operates within a linear economy of make use dispose. Buildings are stripped out and torn down with astonishing regularity while new buildings are constructed from hard-won virgin materials. But raw materials are becoming scarce and the demands for them are exploiting fragile ecosystems even as the global demand for resources continues to rise. Policy makers and organisations are beginning to look for a more regenerative circular economy model. The construction industry demands over half the world’s extracted materials and generates around a third of the total waste generated in the EU making it a prime candidate for applying the circular economy. Yet there has been little focus on how construction industry professionals and their clients can contribute towards the movement. Drawing on illustrative methods and examples Building Revolutions explains how the principles of a circular economy can be applied to the built environment where resources are kept in use and their value retained.

The Handbook to Building a Circular Economy

The Handbook to Building a Circular Economy

This book is a call to arms to all architects designers and built environment professionals. To avoid a climate catastrophe and achieve a regenerative built environment the use of new materials and any excess waste in resources need to be cut out from the very beginning of the design process. This requires far-reaching change in established industry processes. How might this begin? What are the key fundamentals you need to know? How can a more effective model be applied? This book a much-updated second edition of the author’s previous work Building Revolutions answers all your questions. Inspiring but never overwhelming the Handbook to Building a Circular Economy is your must-have companion to helping create a more sustainable future. It explains in simple and practical terms how the principles of a circular economy can be applied to the built environment thereby reducing the resources required to construct fit-out maintain and refurbish buildings. Case studies include: The Forge UK by Landsec The Bath School of Art UK by Grimshaw Urban Mining and Recycling Experimental Unit Switzerland by Werner Sobek NASA Sustainability Base USA by William McDonough + Partners University of East Anglia Enterprise Centre UK by Architype Park 20|20 The Netherlands by William McDonough + Partners.
