Abstract
AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: The build environment has a significant impact on the climate crisis, consuming large amounts of resources and contributing to energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The linear approach to architecture and interior design, with a take-make-waste attitude, exacerbates these negative effects. Transitioning to a circular economy is essential to address these issues by keeping materials in a closed-loop system and reducing waste. This thesis focuses on the regeneration of existing factory buildings within a circular design framework, primarily in the context of interior architecture. The research aims to identify circular design principles and explore their application in regenerating factory buildings. The methodology includes a systematic review of literature on the circular economy, analysis of circular design principles, consultation with leading architectural studios, and a case study of a regenerated factory building. The findings contribute to the understanding of circular design principles in the context of building regeneration and offer insights for sustainable practices in the built environment. Keywords: circular economy, regeneration, factory buildings, interior architecture, circular design principles
