VIBE and VUB jointly at the World Resources Forum

This year the World Resources Forum is dedicated to closing material loops, or circularity. The ideal opportunity to highlight the knowledge developed by VUB Architectural Engineering and VIBE on circularity. This is why Waldo Galle (VUB-VITO), Charlotte Cambier (VUB) and alumna Mieke Vandenbroucke (VIBE) are hosting a workshop with over 20 participants.

Design choices, extending the service life of buildings and building products while fostering closed material loops, are key to the transition towards a circular economy. To share the Flemish expertise in Designing for Change and Circularity while developing it further, VUB and VIBE bring an interactive workshop to the World Resource Forum.

During our workshop, participants are introduced to 9 design principles and solutions created for all actors of the built environment. Using an online interface, each participant can learn how to use those principles and is invited to evaluate and develop solutions. The results are shared and discussed in real time.

Workshop presentations and results will be soon accessible through this page.
