Circular Design & Economy

The linear economy - extract, make, use, dispose - is fundamentally unsustainable. Every year, we extract billions of tonnes of raw materials, most of which end up in landfills within months. Circular design flips this model by designing products and buildings for continuous reuse, repair, and regeneration.

In construction, circular design means creating buildings that can be disassembled, with materials that can be reused or recycled. This approach dramatically reduces embodied carbon while creating economic value through material recovery and extended product lifecycles.
