Circular Building: Installation and exhibition in London
Arup designs and delivers Circular Building prototype in collaboration with FRENER & REIFER, BAM and the Building Centre
As part of the “London Design Festival”, taking place from the 17th-25th September 2016, Arup has collaborated with FRENER & REIFER and BAM to create the Circular Building, an installation acting as a circular economy prototype located outside The Building Centre (who also provided support).
The partners have teamed up to apply and test circular economy principles in the construction industry by asking the following question:
“Can we design a building where, at the end of its life, all its components and materials can be re-used, re-manufactured or re-cycled?”
Asking this question profoundly alters design and construction priorities. There needs to be a significant change in thinking about materials and construction process.
