CIRCUBUILT

CIRCUBUILT pioneers breakthrough renovation methods rooted in New European Bauhaus (NEB) principles of adaptability, disassembly, circularity, beauty, and inclusion. The project operationalises the NEB Toolbox through real-world demonstrations across Barcelona (ES), Vari-Voula-Vouliagmeni (GR), and Hartlepool (UK) to validate adaptive and disassemblable design solutions. Leveraging circular materials from hospital and plastic waste, fully modular, tool-free interior systems, and participatory co-creation, CIRCUBUILT delivers scalable, sustainable, and aesthetically compelling renovated environments. The integrated product-as-a-service business models and digital material passports ensure lifecycle traceability and market viability of these circular innovations. The project engages diverse stakeholders using NEB-aligned methods, fostering social inclusion and cultural resonance while significantly reducing embodied carbon and construction waste. CIRCUBUILT’s pilots demonstrate measurable environmental, social, and economic benefits consistent with the NEB Compass values—Sustainability, Inclusion, and Beauty—ensuring technology and policy innovation integrates seamlessly with community needs and European frameworks. This system-level approach prepares adaptive, circular renovation to become mainstream, enhancing European neighbourhood resilience, quality of life, and the circular economy’s transformative potential.
