European Facade Network’s Post

On the 6th November 2024, I had the pleasure of presenting at the “FASSADE 2024" conference, organised by the Lucerne School of Engineering and Architecture. In my talk, I discussed about the design of facade components that can enable circularity in the built environement and the key consideration for designers and systems manufacturers that can contribute to the circular transition, such as the material selection, performance requirement, and remanufacturing potential. The insights presented are part of the findings of our research with Magdalena Zabek on the AEGIR project, and Ruben van der Plas on the Toekomstbestendige leefomgeving project. During the conference, it was great to realise how the industry in shifting towards resourse efficient solutions. Many thanks to Andreas Luible for the invitation and organisation and to the speakers and audience for sharing their ideas and experiences. FASSADE2024 is part of the European Facade Network conference series. Looking forward to the next #EFN conference in June 2025, in Lisbon.
