This book relates circular economy principles to housing design and construction and highlights how those principles can result in both monetary savings, positive environmental impact, and socio-ecological change.Chapters focus on three key circular economy principles and apply them to architectural construction and design, namely rethinking of the end-of-use phase of a building and the potential of design-for-disassembly; the role of digitization and data standardization in fostering evidence-based circular economy design decision-making; and presenting space as a resource to conserve, via exploration of the sharing economy and flexibility principles. Beyond waste management and material cycles, this book provides a holistic understanding of the opportunities across the building life cycle that can allow for sustainable and affordable circular housing. With case studies from 13 different countries, including but not limited to the Hammarby Sjöstad district in Sweden, the Circle House in Denmark, Benny Farm in Canada, VMD Prefabricated House in Mexico, and the Deep Performance Dwelling in China, authors pair theoretical frameworks with real-world examples.This will be a useful resource for upper-level students and academics of architecture, construction, and planning, especially those studying and researching housing design, building technology, green project management, and environmental design.

This book provides an accessible and holistic understanding of life cycle assessment, allowing readers to build life cycle thinking into their design process.Life cycle analysis is becoming more common place in architectural discussion to understand embodied carbon in buildings. However, life cycle cost analysis and social life cycle analysis are often not considered. By combining these methods of analyses a clear understanding of the environmental, economic, and social aspects of the entire life cycle of a building and its design emerges. Drawing from seminal texts as well as contemporary thinking on systems theory, urban systems, and ecological analyses this book frames architectural design processes within the socio-ecological context of twenty-first century challenges. It also highlights the role data visualization and data storytelling play in capturing the memory or embodied aspects of a building life cycle. This is critical for evidence-based decision-making during the design process as well as documenting the temporal scale of a building to allow for future use architecture. Finally, a case study comparing the life cycle of Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station in New York, highlights the environmental, economic, and social cost bore by the demolition and rebuild of Penn Station, and provides a demonstration of how the theory works in practice.This will be an essential resource for all beginning architects and designers.
