Abstract
Buildings and infrastructures need to be optimized for closed-loop material flows. Designing such circular constructions is nevertheless challenging because of several organizational barriers. Construction professionals need practical solutions to organize circular design projects – or reorganize linear ones. Four practical tools have therefore been proposed by a circularity community of practice in the Netherlands called Platform CB’23: an ecosystem compass, Business Model Canvas, value matrix and information needs matrix. This paper aims to illustrate the use of these four tools to (re)organize circular design projects. Through applying the tools to a circular interior design case project and reflecting on their potentials, it is concluded that practitioners can gain insights into organizational issues such as the ecosystem workings, business models, value exchanges and information exchanges. Such insights could subsequently be used to take transformative action in circular design.
