The Importance of Dynamic Evolving Architecture.

The Evolution of Broken World Thinking to Dynamic World Thinking

Abstract

Broken World thinking asks us to examine existing buildings through a new lens.  By shifting our focus on sustainability away from absolute measures like carbon emissions and energy consumption and instead focusing on circularity within the built environment. Existing and historic buildings shift from hard-to-treat to a vital asset in our sustainable future. Circularity in the built-in environments requires us to prioritise building reuse and adaptability over more typical sustainability measures. The reprioritisation of building maintenance, dynamic and evolutionary change, and focus on building services allows existing buildings to become part of the solution for our sustainable future.
