Circular Materials: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects11 Journals5

Circular materials represent a shift toward designing with waste reduction and material longevity in mind. Rather than following linear production models, designers working with circular materials consider how materials can be reused, repurposed, or naturally decomposed at the end of their lifecycle.

The community explores material innovation through projects that repurpose everyday materials like cardboard and textiles, examines material properties and histories through museums and archives, and develops architectural systems designed for disassembly and reuse. Work ranges from pavilions and installations to residential projects that demonstrate circular principles at different scales.

PATCHWORK

While walking on the street, the masses reaching towards horizon consist of massive silhouette and color. It starts to show its surfaces as it gets closer. As we get closer and closer, it takes us in, begins to show its color and details. We touch, feel, and it is now fragmented. Patchwork discusses the distance between us and material, its perceptibility.

HIGROW – Hygroscopic proprieties of wood used as programmable matter in lightweight construction

The project explores the possibilities of using the hygroscopic proprieties of wood as a programmable material. The aim of the research is to explore the possibilities of a temporary structure through a new method of design by studying a shell through the physical behavior of its construction material: wood. The design process is driven by a set of physical
