| summary |
Circular Economy (CE) is a new production and consumption model aiming to redefine processes sustainably by adopting the "take-make-reuse-recycle" concept in all industries, including the architecture-construction industry. Studies show that we spend more than the current amount of Earth's natural resources and need to reduce global resource production and consumption by a third. This paper investigates the "design by research" method to translate theoretical circular economy concepts into practical village-scale design activities in urban + architecture studio education. The studio aims to develop a design model for circular villages that are affordable, sustainable, and socially connected. Circular villages can collectively positively impact the land and each other. For this study, Sille village in KonyaTurkiye has been analyzed from macro-region scale to micro village scale through the year-long M. Arch graduate urban + architecture design studio. Three main approaches were prominent in developing circular/sustainable planning and design strategies for the village: (1) self-sufficiency in terms of resources, food, energy, and workforce, (2) continuity of natural-cultural values and aspects along with the associative collective memory and contextual relationships and (3) utilizing digital tools in the application of circularity concepts. Exploring the potentials and limits of digital tools to accomplish the circularity principles at urban and architectural design levels brings novel insights to the design notion in architectural education. |
