Circular City
Circular City
The Circular City project is an interdisciplinary collaboration to better understand the role of existing buildings as a resource base for a future circular economy. Specifically, the project aims to develop the necessary quantified models, qualitative approaches, domain knowledge and methods to develop a Circular City Information Infrastructure (CCII) that details the quantities, qualities and potential of materials and building elements at a large scale.
Through a cooperation of research teams from architecture, planning, structural engineering, geography, manufacturing, and industrial ecology, Circular City will provide plausible pathways to a circular low-carbon building stock. Circular City is at this stage announcing the call for 4 PhD positions.
The joint goal of the PhD positions is to participate in a trans- and interdisciplinary group that will inform circular economy strategies for the built environment. The PhD students will, in cooperation with other project partners, develop novel approaches to circular resource management of the building stock with a higher granularity, including bottom-up data gathering, remote sensing, building information modelling (BIM), structural engineering modelling, and systematic knowledge about architecture and construction technology. The project will be developed using Trondheim and Trøndelag county as case studies, while the approach developed will be generic.
