How can we maximise the reuse of existing buildings and building materials?
How can we maximise the reuse of existing buildings and building materials?
[CFC] Circular Future Cities - Shuyan | Video Series
In the second entry of the Video Series, we travel to the Zürich hub to meet Shuyan Xiong, an ETH Zürich PhD researcher at the [CFC] Circular Future Cities module in Future Cities Laboratory Global. We explore her work on identifying embedded materials – especially building system components materials – that are often overlooked in conventional modelling techniques used for evaluating existing buildings and their reuse potential. Learn about how FCL Global researchers like Shuyan are informing future practices and standards that will enable a circular economy in the future.
More stories from our researchers coming soon. Stay tuned!
