Business Empathy: A Systems Thinking Perspective

Price, R.A. (author), Waring, J. (author), Waring, C (author)

The strength of design is that it brings new perspectives-often referred to as 'out of the box' thinking. However, an attitudinal and methodological strength need not render the designer humble in systems-based business knowledge that improves the prospect of ideas being carried through to implementation. Systems thinking as a discipline offers...

How do current policies support a transition towards a circular economy in the built environment?

Henrotay, C. (author), Debacker, W. (author), Steinlage, Molly (author)

Building and construction industry consumes huge quantities of materials in an unsustainable way. As a result of a linear design approach and economic model, at the end of use, but also throughout the cycle, buildings or parts of buildings are demolished and remnants treated as waste or –best case– down-cycled. This creation of waste as well as...
