Circular Building Unconference – Building Circular Realities
The third and biggest Circular Building UnConference 2024 so far was a great success! On the 24th of October, the third edition took place at the Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich and welcomed almost 200 participants to exchange innovative and collaborative approaches to make circularity a reality.
On October 24th, the 3rd Circular Building UnConference, organized by SusTec and Innovations Park Central, took place in the Event Hangar of the Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich. With almost 200 participants, it was not only the largest conference to date but also a complete success!
Under the theme “Building Circular Realities”, the engaging presentations and panel discussions demonstrated that the circular economy has arrived in the construction industry and is already being implemented in many places.
A good example of this is Building X by SBB Immobilien and Gigon Guyer Partner Architekten AG, which serves as a pioneering model for sustainable construction. Attendees were also inspired by the Project Market Place, two panels moderated by Dr. Christof Knoeri showcasing best practices, and a captivating lecture by Dr. Catharina Bening on what the construction sector can learn from circular economy practices in the plastics industry. Sophie Füher, our SusTec PhD candidate successfully moderated the event, guiding participants through the program while Lisa Lambert and Michèle Wicki ensured the seamless organization of the event. The conference concluded with an apero, where participants continued networking and exchanging ideas.
We hope to see you for our fourth and last UnConference of the CBI Booster next year!
