| dc.description.abstract | AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The world is at a tipping point, as population growth drives the economy and production ever higher, natural resources are on the edge of becoming obsolete. Research clearly shows how the construction industry generates severe damage to the environment, and how the generation of demolition waste is a source of wasted natural and economic resources. This study aims to unfold the current problem in the construction industry and offer an alternative to the way we currently design and build. The design aims to cover sustainability, flexibility, and circularity. We must rethink the way we use space and the resources that are located in it. Keywords: population growth, construction industry, sustainability, flexibility, circularity, natural resources, demolition waste, design, resource utilization | en |
