Study Architecture

Author(s): Emily Potts
The immediate short-term reduction of up-front embodied carbon in the built environment is essential for meeting our global climate goals. Embodied carbon can be reduced drastically by integrating aspects of building and materials reuse into all projects. In order to prepare future architectural leaders for this challenge, academia must proactively teach circular building design strategies at various points in the curriculum. In particular, this paper explores the benefits and challenges of integrating circular design problems into architectural studio courses. The tools and resources presented are aimed at faculty who are somewhat familiar with circular design to begin to introduce these concepts in a studio context to undergraduate students who may have very little prior knowledge of the importance, challenges, and opportunities associated with circular building design.
