Building a circular future

Why are we still demolishing buildings when we can design for deconstruction? In this episode, Arup structural engineer Grace Di Benedetto explains that we need to change our mindset and recognise buildings as valuable sources of materials rather than rubble. Together, we discuss material passports and the structural engineering opportunities offered by the circular economy.
