Description
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- Innovative approaches, methods, and techniques for the safe and sustainable re-assembly of construction products in ways that increase the aesthetic and cultural value of the built environment in line with the New European Bauhaus.
- Increased re-assembly of construction products at neighbourhood , local, and regional level.
- New scientific evidence on the social, cultural, economic, and environmental (including reduced resource consumption, reduced waste and litter generation, including microplastic pollution, and carbon storage ) benefits, on new business opportunities and models, and on value and revenue streams for the beautiful re-assembly of reclaimed construction products at neighbourhood, local, and regional level.
Proposals are expected to address all of the following:
- Explore at least one innovative approach, method, or technique to re-assemble construction products in ways that increase their embedded economic and environmental value and the aesthetic value of buildings and building ensembles by exploring existing aesthetic and cultural standards in the built environment.
- The proposed innovative solution(s) should consider the reassembled construction products’ environmental footprint and the availability of reclaimed construction materials and components at neighbourhood, local or regional level. Proposals should build, where possible, on existing circular construction product pooling networks and platforms, construction logistics hubs as well as informal markets for reused construction products.
- Validate how the proposed innovative solution(s) create new value, revenue streams and business opportunities, building, wherever possible, upon existing research on related business models in the field.
Proposals are expected to follow a participatory and transdisciplinary approach through the integration of different actors (such as public authorities, local actors from the targeted neighbourhoods, civil society, private owners, material suppliers, etc.) and disciplines (such as architecture, urban design, design, arts, (civil) engineering, economics, finance, business, etc.).
