When it comes to climate change, circularity has become a major topic.
Closed loops, reuse, recycling, and renewable materials are already
fashionable ideas in architecture and product design. In order to
establish the new paradigm of circular design, this book introduces a
territorial dimension to the goal of transforming living spaces for
resilience and sustainability--and to the use of design-led research
and
design-thinking as effective forces for analysis, developing concepts
and strategies, and cooperative processes of transformation. Featuring
case studies from all over Europe that merge creative narratives in
urbanism with social innovation and creative industries, Circular
Design
aims to activate dynamic fields and networks of ideas, people, and
space oriented to circular principles.
