Synopsis

Circular economy approaches can lead to more sustainable outcomes for sports projects. The session will start with an introduction to the principles of a circular economy in construction and the environmental benefits when compared to the traditional linear economy. There are three key-stages of a circular economy in construction: deconstruction, structural material reuse, and Design for Deconstruction. Three case studies will be presented that demonstrate these principles in action will be presented: Georgia Tech Student Athlete Performance Center & Bobby Dodd Stadium for Georgia Tech (Walter P Moore), as well as Montreal Olympic Stadium and Stadium 974 (schlaich bergermann partner).
