Circular construction. Rethinking construction processes and energy consumption in construction and buildability transformation
Read from the City of Medellin in Colombia on how the city is undertaking pioneering efforts in circular construction and developing a Public Policy on Sustainable Circular Construction.
Circular construction is transforming how we think about buildings; prioritizing sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. This approach focuses on extending the lifespan of materials, reducing waste, and designing for adaptability – all leading to reduced energy consumption and resource use. Principles like redesigning for reuse, repairing instead of replacing, and recycling materials are at the heart of this movement. The city of Medellin, Colombia, is a pioneer in circular construction, developing a Public Policy on Sustainable Circular Construction. Want to delve deeper into this revolutionary approach?
