Circular System
Circular System is a design approach in environmental architecture where building materials and resources are kept in use for as long as possible, then recovered and regenerated at the end of each service life. In practice, this means using modular parts in buildings so that walls, floors, and fixtures can be easily removed, repaired, or reused in new projects. Rainwater harvesting systems and greywater recycling loops are often included, turning water into a resource that cycles through the building for multiple uses. Designers often plan for disassembly, so when a building reaches the end of its life, its pieces can be separated and used again, reducing waste and saving resources.
