Value of the Building That Is Mobile🏗️
The third theme explores how materials, components and building stocks can retain and transfer value throughout multiple life cycles. Bringing together expertise in industrial ecology, valuation, digitalisation, and sustainable design, this theme investigates how the built environment can become a dynamic reservoir of resources within a circular economy.
The researchers within this theme:
📌 DC6 - Zinan Lin - Multi-layer Building Stocks Characterisation and Circular Economy Potential
📌 DC7 - Hong Chen - Multi-level Material Cycles and Market Dynamics
📌 DC8 - Antonia Klipp - Building Stock Characterisation and Circularity Aspects as Factors in Material Output Valuation
Together, these projects explore how materials and buildings can be understood, tracked, and valued across multiple use cycles. By collecting knowledge on building stock characterisation, material flow dynamics, and the valuation of recovered resources, their research contributes to creating a more circular, efficient and adaptable built environment. ♻️🏙️
