Publisher's Synopsis
Do you know how to design for a circular economy?
A truly sustainable, circular economy is both a robust and viable option for architecture. Through inspirational case studies, interviews and essays, this new edition of thre 2017 book is an accessible and practical guide to how architects can move from a linear economy towards a circular economy.
This atlas to sustainable, closed-loop systems takes the reader on a journey through four distinct steps (Recycle, Reuse, Reduce, Circular Economy) that show how they can dramatically reduce the negative impact humans have on the planet. It gives architects the skills and knowledge to navigate through the emerging fields of resource management towards a true Circular Economy. Each step is supplemented with an in-depth interview with an expert who is successfully tacking one or more of the challenges facing all designers today.
If we change our behaviour, we enable humanity to work with nature rather than against it. Be part of the change.
