Reuse and Continue Building - Circular Concepts in Contemporary Architecture
 
Reusing and continuing to build have a long tradition in architectural history, which was somewhat forgotten in the 20th century. Against the background of current global challenges such as climate change, environmental pollution and the exhaustion of natural resources, these old concepts are once again coming to the attention of building practice as they offer a huge reservoir of approaches and inspiration. Recycling and reusing old materials and building components not only conserves natural resources and reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the construction industry. These processes also offer a way to preserve the history and identity of places.
