Circularity in construction today goes well beyond intentions: it takes shape in concrete choicesand emerging practices and changing professionsat the interface between research, architectural design and construction.

This seminar brings together players who are already experimenting with these new ways of doing things, through real projects, operational tools and measured feedback. It will be held at the heart of this approach, in a building in the Retraites Populaires in Vevey, which will be deconstructed and partially reused in situ in the construction of a new building.

Located in an area of Vevey that has become a an open-air laboratory new concepts in reuse, as part of the European research project H2020 CRediBleThis site is a concrete embodiment of the issues at stake: how to bring together research, design and construction to move from good intentions to a new reality.
