Capturing components and materials at the end of a building’s use phase requires a conscious decision at the design stage so that the building is seen not only as an aesthetic and functional entity the building could become redundant in the foreseeable future The municipality therefore decided to commission a building with a fixed service life of 20 years responded to the municipality’s needs by designing a Lego-like structure where 90% of the materials could be dismantled and reused after 20 years and instead the construction favoured high quality prefabricated timber elements with design tweaks introduced by the supplier The materials that are used for construction have the potential to be very long lasting as evidenced by the countless historic buildings that make up our built environment Despite this proven .css-69ocsh .e1nwo5y93:hover+.e1nwo5y92{visibility:visible;}.css-3d6etj{cursor:help;border-bottom:1px dashed #2f2f46;}durability.css-da3igk{background-color:#f2f2f2!important;box-shadow:0px 12px 16px -4px rgba(16 component or material to remain functional and relevant when used as intended. more commonly when a structure is no longer needed the potential longevity and residual value are not realised because the structure is not easily de-constructed and therefore materials cannot be economically recovered to be used in future buildings from the outset the building was designed for future reusereuseThe repeated use of a product or component for its intended purpose without significant modification Furthermore the whole structural assembly was recorded in a material passport (see below) turning it into a raw material depot for future buildings Reduced carbon emissions – circular approaches to the built environment, such as reuse, could reduce emissions associated with buildings by 38%. According to the contractor BAM, the design of the Brummen Town Hall guarantees that building materials will have 20% residual value at the end of the building life The modular construction method also significantly reduced the construction period Brummen Town Hall received the world’s first materials passport that records information related to the building’s materials In this way the Town Hall has exceeded its primary function becoming A material passport provides two key things: It acknowledges that a material exists in a particular structure (e.g. a ship, or a building) and therefore has a value.  It identifies the most useful future destination.  The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

but crucially where BMW claims its cars are 80% recyclable they are not recyclable into more BMW cars In a circular economy they will be a resource for future cars Two recent RAU Architects building projects that are worth considering are both in The Netherlands They are the new HQ for Alliander in Duiven which involves the re-working and extension of existing buildings and a new-build extension to Brummen Town Hall Both projects are extensions to existing buildings although the latter has the added challenge of conservation of a designated monument The original town hall in Brummen was designed as a stand alone villa in 1890 As with many municipal buildings the original fabric had been altered and extended to such an extent as to almost obliterate the original valuable architectural heritage RAU Architects’ approach was to restore the original fabric of the villa using materials that matched the original 19th century specifications which support the idea of designing for re-manufacture to ensure that it was clear to discern this from the new additions surrounding it It should be noted that materials from the original extensions were mostly ‘re-manufactured’ – that is stone was crushed and the block work used for the facade of the basement The new extension is designed to use as little material as possible This all helps reduce the initial ecological footprint of the development and allows for simple dismantling at the end of the building’s life This approach also reduced construction time significantly is the design of the new timber columns and beams They have been designed as popular sections and lengths to ensure the widest options for re-use at the end of their life at Brummen Town Hall They are not designed for the specific situation on site Many other components and materials used on site are ‘Cradle to Cradle’ certified which means that during their whole lifecycle they have a minimum environmental impact The lighting and flooring are on the Turntoo-type lease agreements mentioned in previous articles The second RAU Architects project is its headquarters building for energy network company Alliander in Duiven At first glance this looks like a brand new building However it is actually another retrofit and extension of an existing structure an overcrowded 30-year-old office building It was originally designed to accommodate 600 people but the new brief asked for facilities to be expanded to make room for 1,500 people On this occasion the original buildings are not immediately apparent have had an additional layer or ‘skin’ of second-hand low-grade timber overlay This provides additional insulation which reduces heat loss and gain The timber has been ‘cooked’ or heated up in a controlled environment which adds to the material’s weatherproofing the insulation used with this new layer of cladding was made from shredded clothing A new roof over-sails both the original and new enclosed accommodation allowing for well light communal social spaces and environmental ‘buffer zones’ Large windows open onto a new central atrium helping create better levels of natural ventilation and increased levels of natural light and therefore greater levels of wellbeing RAU says that despite what appears to be a wholesale rebuild the following statistics make this an unusual construction project: Second-hand salvaged timber was specified for the new-build elements as well as the retrofit elements Re-use on the site included concrete and steelwork stripped out of some of the existing buildings The steel structure for the new mega-roof was designed with the help of a roller-coaster construction company which has experience in designing with a minimal amount of material The resulting structure was 30% lighter than normal using 35% less material and allowing for disassembly at the end of the building’s life ‘Raw material passports’ are given to all materials supplied to this development RAU says this will ensure that the potential for this building to be a material depot for future developments will be met systems and knowledge to support an authentic circular system RAU Architects appears to have ensured that this building will in time become a valuable material resource for future generations who may not have access to the raw materials we tend to take for granted today in 2010 Rau formed ‘Turntoo’ together with Sabine Oberhuber a company dedicated to working on new ‘circular’ business models The company now develops ‘closed loop’ systems; products and services for private and public organisations that it hopes will ‘facilitate the continuity of life on Earth’ Its ambition is to develop an open network of companies that act as ‘closed loop’ suppliers for its architectural projects the buildings can be considered as ‘material depots’ for future schemes Turntoo has also created the concept of ‘material passports’ for second-hand material flows and components By researching a particular waste source Turntoo adds value to it: ‘information turns waste into valuable material’ A material passport is a fascinating concept that will document all the materials used in a building categorised by their exact specification including level of toxicity and their ability to be dismantled for reuse or recycling Perhaps the most famous partnership Turntoo has developed is its ‘circular lighting’ concept with Philips Lighting they lease the appropriate lux level for the function required Leasing lux for 10 or 15 years instead of buying light fittings puts the responsibility for the maintenance and disposal of said fittings firmly with the manufacturer The idea is that this will encourage far greater levels of corporate responsibility as manufacturers will have to deal with the light fittings at the end of their functioning life perhaps they will be more inclined to design them for re-manufacture: perhaps they will consider their products as a material resource to re-use in the future Many ‘pathfinder’ designers have had to invent systems Michael & Patty Hopkins developed hi-tech prefabricated steel and neoprene cladding systems for their early buildings because the established supply chain couldn’t deliver on their futuristic designs Turntoo critically unpacks conventional procurement methods contracts with suppliers and maintenance agreements Rau Architects has established a reputation as an imaginative architect testing ideas of sustainable development it is with Turntoo that it has the potential to create the mechanisms (specifications and contractual agreements) and crucially the new concepts (leasing products buildings as material stores) that the design and manufacturing industries need if we are to start changing well established unintelligent linear processes into genuine circular closed loop systems So is the architecture community up to this task of designing for re-manufacture Although it is still a peripheral occupation consultancies such as The Agency of Design together with academics such as my colleague Professor Jonathan Chapman and Professor Dirk Hebel of ETH Zurich and of course The Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the RSA are all making progress testing this concept While researching my book I was struck how many multinational organisations were taking these concepts very seriously are all putting the weight and reputation of their brands behind the concept of closed loop systems and crucially they are making money from proving that there is no such thing as waste Architect Duncan Baker-Brown is author of The Re-Use Atlas: A Designer's Guide Towards a Circular Economy updates and our weekly newsletter – all designed to bring you the best stories from RIBAJ.com The owner of a Paihia store hit by a donation box thief is giving $250 to the charity to make sure sick kids don't miss on help as a result of the crime A man stole a Kidney Kids donation box containing up to $60 from the counter of the Paihia Four Square a store worker recognising him a short time later at another shop and alerting the police An off-duty officer found the alleged thief and arrested him then chased him across Paihia when he ran off The thief was believed to have spent most of the money on cigarettes and alcohol Four Square owner-operator Scott Jackson said he would donate $250 to the charity so it wouldn't end up out of pocket We deal with theft - it comes with the territory of being a retailer - but when it's a charity that really cuts deep Jackson praised the "outstanding" police officers She was off duty but just jumped into action She is a model of what a police officer should be," he said Kidney Kids chief executive Keith Mackenzie said he was grateful to Paihia Four Square which was a long-term supporter of the charity and to those who gave chase and caught the culprit The charity supported about 450 children and their families "You get very upset when you hear about incidents like this It's hard to believe that anyone is that much of a lowlife to steal a donation box from a charity," he said and don't understand the needs those kids have." The donation would be particularly valuable now because the charity's income had all but dried up during the Covid-19 lockdown and was not expected to recover for the next six months so it was able to continue work that was now more important than ever because children with kidney conditions were at greater risk from infections such as Covid-19 "Anyone who has chronic kidney disease will have a had a transplant which means they're on immune-suppressant drugs for the rest of their lives and they have to be extra cautious," Mackenzie said adding that donation boxes were not the charity's biggest revenue stream and they helped keep the Kidney Kids name in the public eye has appeared in the Whangārei District Court charged with theft escaping custody and possession of cannabis He was allegedly also breaching his bail conditions WILLEMSTAD - Over 100 psychologists from 22 different countries have come to our island this week to participate in the 4th annual World Conference on Personality Psychology The event took place at the University of Curaçao The aim of the conference is to bring together personality psychologists and policymakers from countries such as Japan participants also have the opportunity to explore much of our island.  organized in collaboration with the World Association for Personality Psychology (WAPP) various perspectives on personality within diverse cultures were presented and discussions were held on how to encourage collaboration across cultural boundaries The opening ceremony was officially inaugurated by the Rector Magnificus of the UoC in the presence of the Vice President of the WAPP organization
