Abstract

Broken World thinking encourages us to view exist- ing buildings through a new lens, shifting our focus on sustainability from absolute measures like carbon emissions and energy consumption to circularity within the built environment. Existing and historic buildings transform from hard-to-treat assets into vital components of our sustainable future. Circular- ity in the built environment requires us to prioritise building reuse and adaptability over more conven- tional sustainability measures. The reprioritisation of building maintenance, alongside dynamic and evolutionary change, and a focus on building services, enables existing buildings to become part of the solu- tion for our sustainable future.
