Unfortunately, this episode is only available in Dutch on Spotify.
In this episode of Een Academisch Kwartiertje met... we speak with Tim Sluiter, Project Manager East, and Ernst Worrell, Professor of Energy, Resources and Technological Change at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. Together, they explain how the university is making circular building a reality鈥攏ot as a trend, but as a necessity. We delve into an inspiring story: from rediscovering forgotten building traditions to shaping a future without waste.
Circular building means giving materials a second life, designing for disassembly, and thinking in terms of resource cycles. Tim and Ernst take us behind the scenes of new projects on campus, where old bricks, window frames, and even entire building elements are reused. We learn how traditional construction principles surprisingly align well with modern technology and sustainable ambitions.
