| Popis: | In Europe, cities are largely built, and the central focus of building-related CO2 emissions is less on the design of new buildings, but on the renovation and transformation of the existing building stock (EPRS, 2021). In the European Union, approximately 17% of non-residential buildings are educational buildings (Österreicher & Geissler, 2016). Many of them were built in the 1960s-1970s. These buildings are typically characterized by high occupancy rates and substantial energy use (Hu, 2020). As such, the renovation of educational buildings plays a crucial role in reducing the environmental impact of the built environment. Compared to demolition and new construction, renovation offers considerable environmental benefits, including reduced material consumption, lower embodied carbon emissions, and the preservation of existing structural resources (Dragonetti et al., 2025). Therefore, prioritizing the circular renovation of educational buildings is essential to achieving climate goals and advancing circular construction practices in the EU. Despite growing attention to circularity in architectural design research and practice, significant gaps remain, particularly in the context of circular renovation (Circle Economy Foundation, 2024; Carbonell-Alcocer et al., 2022; Transitieteam Circulaire Bouweconomie, 2018). There is a lack of documented case studies and clear methodological frameworks that demonstrate how circular principles can be effectively applied in the circular renovation of existing buildings. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the Neuron building, which is an award-winning renovation project. The original building, completed in 1972, was designed by Jacques Choisy (OD205); renovated by Team V Architecture (2019-2023), an education building (of 12,330 m2) for TU/e in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. In renovation practice, the challenges of circular renovation, zero energy renovation, and architectural design to create attractive future learning environments are entangled, thus explored in ... |
