Café com Ciência with Vanessa Tavares | Online
The online lecture aims to explore the concept of circularity in buildings in depth. By considering Built CoLab’s extensive track record, the session seeks to transform the way we understand construction, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and circular principles in building. It aims to raise awareness of the importance of rethinking traditional construction models, encouraging the adoption of practices that respect environmental limits and promote the reuse and recycling of resources, and to stimulate a constructive discussion between professionals and academics about the challenges and opportunities of the transition to circular construction.
