Event Description
Daniel Gudsell and PHD student Ged Finch discuss Circular Economy’s role in construction. Ged explains the concept of functional value and abundance along with the use of buildings as “material banks” for the future. Ged outlines a future where construction materials manufacturers collaborate to create standardised systems, and the embodied energy of the materials used is transparent.
