In the final part of our series on circular construction co-hosts Mary James and Ilka Cassidy are joined by Felix Heisel, an architect, professor at Cornell University, and director of the Circular Construction Lab.  Learn about the principles of circular construction, urban mining, and the significance of deconstruction over demolition. Discover how Felix's lab is pushing the boundaries of sustainable architecture through interdisciplinary research, policy advocacy, and practical implementation. This episode also highlights real-world examples and emerging policies in North America, offering a comprehensive look at how we can build a more sustainable future by rethinking our approach to construction and materials reuse. Tune in for an inspiring conversation on transforming the built environment.
