This book explores the relationship between the circular economy
and the building technologies within the quintuple helix innovation
model. The main question the book answers is whether and how the
conversion of sustainable construction processes can be a powerful
engine of innovation for the industry. The post-disaster
settlements and temporary shelters are assumed as examples of what
can be defined as circular buildings in regards to the technical
arrangements and features, material and process reversibility, as
the social and participative dimensions. Several cases of these
interventions are documented and classified by three thematic axes:
design, building and living. This highlighted new trajectories for
innovation in building technology, consistent with the social,
economic and productive dynamics that no longer allows for growing
performance by increasing the resource demand. A theoretic
framework is traced supporting this vision, which shows how the low
technologies can respond to the transition of the economic model
from linear to circular. Within this trajectory, the low-tech
design for remanufacturing represents a reference framework and a
promising tool applicable to the building processes. The enabling
technologies and new paradigms for the transition to circular
economy emerging from the European research scenario are also
mapped, outlining z`the possible future developments in line with
open technical and societal challenges.
