The circular economy has a design-led agenda that calls for disruptive systematic change. The progress requires system innovation in tandem with technological innovation. The circular economy framework provides guidance towards the irreversible transition to deliver a sustainable built environment. This one-day symposium aims to discuss opportunities and challenges of this transition and the ways of introducing the circular economy framework in practice and education of architecture.
- Circular economy from different perspectives (economy, business, design)
- Circular built environment and the role of the architect
- Circular economy framework in education
