CIRCULAR [RE]DESIGN TO ENABLE DISASSEMBLY AND REUSE OF MID-RISE TIMBER BUILDINGS
Project Under Development
Aim: develop a system design-based framework and guidelines to enable disassembly and reuse of mid-rise timber buildings (structure, partitions and envelope) for spatial reconfiguration and component replacement. Interdisciplinary approaches to generate new knowledge on timber (products, components, panels) reuse in midrise Australian buildings.

Objectives/Deliverables
- Mapping timber waste and reuse flows in Australia (demolition practice and reuse potential)
- Identifying and assessing (LCA) timber reuse scenarios
- Developing circular solutions to design out timber waste (system design-based framework and guidelines for spatial reconfiguration, D&R)
- Testing DfDR: case study re-design for circularity
