The building and its architecture aims to underline the sustainable values that will lead Amsterdam and various other European cities into a new circular economy. Its guests will co-habit and join together as part of a learning experience that explores a new route intosustainable tourism. A strong emphasis on reuse of building products and materials is imperative to show the public and necessary organisations that there is an urgent need for a shift in the resource efficiency discourse in the Netherlands. By reusing and repurposing different elements and materials, buildings, such as Hotels or Hostels, can be justified for their implementation into city models. The chosen site (Driehoekstraat, Jordaan) was intentional to show how such a building could operate and influence the conditions of a neighbourhood and its attitude towards its new economic system.
