Author: Mario Rinke, Frederik Vandyck
How can architectural education respond meaningfully to the climate crisis? And how can we let students feel the limitations and potentials of working directly with reclaimed building materials?Positioning architects as key agents of change, this book argues for a fundamental shift from extractive design thinking toward availability-based design—starting not from abstract form or resources, but from what already exists. Through an Erasmus+ collaboration between five European architecture schools the authors document and critically reflect on a series of design-and-build workshops in Amsterdam, Trondheim, and Volos, each embedded in a distinct local construction culture and each exploring a different dimension of circular practice: sourcing and understanding materials, reuse of components, and reuse of structures. By placing students in direct contact with reclaimed materials and real construction constraints, Crafting Circularity shows how learning-through-making can embed circular thinking at the core of the design studio.
