What if construction waste were considered the result of a design error? Elma Durmisevic suggests that innovating adaptable, dynamic and innovative building systems would help create a circular value chain to prevent waste from ever being produced.
Durmisevic founded 4D Architects, a firm that focuses on transformable structures, design for disassembly and system development. She also founded the GTB Lab, the European Laboratory for Green Transformable Buildings in the Netherlands, and the Green Design Center in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Deepika Raghu a CEA postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich, conducted the interview. Raghu works across the Circular Future Cities Lab Design++, and DiCE Lab, developing AI-driven tools and digital workflows for circular construction in diverse global contexts.

Digitalisation for sustainable construction with Prof. Martin Fischer
Digitalization is crucial for making construction more sustainable and circular. But the sector is slow to digitalize its processes and often relies on fragmented data.
Martin Fisher, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University, explains how digitalization improves project management, automation, and building information modeling to better navigate tradeoff decisions for more sustainable construction.
