A Guidance Tool for Circular Building Design. Amory, J. Technical Report Delft University of Technology, Delft, July, 2018.
abstract   bibtex   
Circularity and the Circular Economy (CE) are gaining ground across different industries, including the building sector. However, these terms are not clearly defined and there is a lack of proper guidance for architects to effectively implement these concepts into their designs. In this paper, the research question: “How can architects, non-expert to the CE, be stimulated and systematically guided towards circular design?” is answered through the development of a guidance tool for circular buildings. Firstly, the key principles of circularity are identified. Second, a list of ‘circular design’ and ‘circular material usage’ strategies, appearing in literature, is compiled and structured. These strategies, accompanied by relevant reference projects, are comprised into a framework (guidance tool). Last, this framework is reflected on, in terms of its capability to answer the research question.
