Circular Architecture: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects87 Journals23

Circular architecture treats buildings as temporary stocks of materials rather than permanent endpoints. Practitioners aim to retain existing structures, select reversible assembly methods, and plan for disassembly so that components can be reused or recycled at the end of a building's life.

Community members here explore adaptive reuse of industrial heritage, such as the Gjuteriet renovation in Malmö, alongside temporary and community-centred housing in Haarlem, post-war cultural renewal in Aleppo, and low-impact residences in Bali. Speculative projects on material museums and eco-chapels extend the discussion to how circular thinking shapes form.
