WORLD GREEN BUILDING WEEK 2017, The re-use atlasSince the Waste House was completed in June 2014, Duncan 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.

The Re-Use Atlas is a highly illustrated ‘atlas’, taking the reader on a journey, via four distinct ‘steps’ (recycling, reuse, reduce, closed loop), from our current ‘linear economy’ towards a system emulating the natural world, i.e, a ‘circular economy’. Featuring over 25 detailed case studies describing design exemplars from the worlds of textile & fashion design, product design, interior architecture, architecture and urban design, its purpose is to show designers how they can successfully navigate and exploit the emerging field of resource management and the circular economy. Each step is supplemented with an in depth interview with an expert who is successfully tackling one or more of these challenges that present all designers today.


Bite-Size Sessions: 

What did delegates say about previous Bite Size sessions?

“The micro session idea is brilliant as full days can be very, very difficult”
“Excellent coverage for both established Green Register members and novices”
“Informed recommendations and some myths debunked”
“Lots of stuff I didn’t know! Enjoyed the interactive format”

The Green Register’s Bite Size sessions offer an alternative, flexible route to Green Register membership through a series of shorter training sessions designed to give concise training at a time to suit busy working professionals. Attend 6 sessions to qualify for membership.

All sessions start at 16.45 for registration with training running 17.00 – 19.00.
