Circular building in practice. 18 student teams from 11 countries were given the task of planning and constructing one of three urban building tasks in a specific old neighbourhood: Closing gaps between buildings, refurbishment and adding storeys, refurbishment and extension. All under the premise of sustainable, circular construction. The demonstration buildings in Wuppertal were constructed accordingly on the exhibition site.

The short seminar is divided into four stages:

  • The largest student competition for sustainable building; Helmut Krapmeier
  • Circular building, Jan Müller
  • Detailed viewing of the project MIMO
  • Questions to Eike Musall, leader of the project (via Zoom)

Jan Müller worked for 3 years in the organisation team of the Solar Decathlon Europe 21/22 in Wuppertal. Among other things, I coordinated the sustainability discipline of the competition. Today he works in an architectural office and teaches and researches at the University of Wuppertal on the subject of circular economy.
