Giovanardi, M. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Pollo, Riccardo (author), Klein, T. (author)Traceability is considered a crucial requirement to enable Circular Economy (CE). Product and process life-cycle data can facilitate circular asset management preserving the asset's value over time and reducing resource consumption. Many scholars point out how the loss of traceability data, lacking information reliability, and unstructured...journal article 2023

Giovanardi, Matteo (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Pollo, Riccardo (author), Klein, T. (author)In the façade sector, the ecological and circular transition requires the adoption of new business models that exploit the value of the material as much as possible. In this context, the Internet of Things (IoT) is identified as a potential innovation driver for the widespread use of circular approaches. The aim of the paper is to clarify the...journal article 2023

Ioannou, O. (author), Geldermans, Bob (author), Klein, T. (author), Wandl, Alex (author)This paper introduces a methodological framework to integrate circularity in architectural curricula and the building blocks that led to its conceptualisation. The first block (Part A) examines how complexity has affected learning and architectural education, in particular. The paper departs from the notion that knowledge produces further...journal article 2022
