The Re-Use Atlas: A designer’s guide to the circular economy

Since the Waste House was completed in June 2014, our very own Duncan Baker-Brown has been working on a book that considers the challenges and opportunities presenting designers and clients who wish to ‘mine the anthropocene’, i.e.work with existing places, communities and stuff previously mined and processed. Duncan’s book is entitled ‘The Re-Use Atlas’. It will be published in May 2017. However, this blog will give people the opportunity to read parts of the book before the publishing date.

This entry explores Duncan’s personal journey towards a circular economy. The history, politics and challenges associated with construction in the 21st century are also discussed.
