A Zero-Waste Approach in the Design of Buildings: Introducing a new way of approaching sustainability in buildings with a conceptual industrial building design as an illustrative example.

Climate change and environmental issues are important in today’s society. The earth is being depleted of its resources and the changing climate could irreversibly change the planet for the worse. Sustainable buildings are mostly optimised for the use phase but neglect end of life scenarios. Buildings are often demolished and materials are dumped...

Bouwen aan de Circulaire Economie: "Een betere wereld begint bij het stellen van een betere vraag"

Since the beginning of industrial evolution, industrialization has created a dominating unilateral production- and consumption model. This one-way model of production, also described as a linear model, encompasses a ‘take, make, waste’ pattern in which natural resources are extracted from the Earth, manufactured into goods, used and eventually...
