A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
Various industry groups have approached reuse by investigating the opportunities offered by particular materials ‐ examining how to establish circular infrastructures and construction systems for those materials. This chapter describes four very different initiatives that researched how circular systems for reuse could be established at the material/ component level. These are the Nordic Built Component Reuse project, StoryWood, Reuse of Structural Steel, and REBRICK project. A variety of materials investigative tools were used: full size mock‐ups were created to explore details, renderings and design explorations were used to illustrate aesthetic potential, extensive workflow charts assessed practical implementation and life cycle assessment (LCA) was carried out to quantify environmental benefits. A transparent supply chain reveals the three variables that give a material the potential to tell a story: its source, the proximity of where it came from and its sustainable stewardship.
