TOWARDS CIRCULAR THINKING a circular and evolutionary renovation redesign into a community hub
ROERMOND, RENOVATION, REDESIGN The objective is circular renovation of an old schoolbuidling from the sixties. The old situation housed four main building attached to eachother. Circularity, reuse, and redesign is the main focus. That is why the first step is to make an inventory of the existing situation. The information is then gathered in the virtual building material model/ database. This model/database is used during the entire design process as a reference for building materials and reuse. Along with the architectural concept conparisons were made between new and 'old'. Primarily taken into account are: the current state of the materials, possibility of reusing in their current state, and possibility of reuse/ redesign as/in other elements. 0
