Abstract
When using digital innovation to apply circular economy principles to the built environment, we can consider two research areas: design and manufacturing (3D printing, optimization, robotics, parametric design, CNC machinery, etc.) and logistics (BIM, circular business models such as leasing, connected supply chains, digital platforms, the use of blockchain technology, the internet of things, etc.). This lecture will discuss research questions that need to be addressed in order to use automation innovations towards a paradigm shift from a linear to a circular economy in the construction sector
