Author: Mario Rinke, Frederik VandyckPositioning 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 workshop is 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.ISBN 9783986123338.
