Transforming the Built Environment:Accelerating Circular and Digital Transition

EN

Transforming the Built Environment: Accelerating Circular and Digital Transition Symposium will be held on Tuesday, 21 November 2023 at ITU – Taşkışla Campus, Faculty of Architecture. The international symposium is organized by ITU Center for Advanced Studies in Architecture – Circularity in Built Environment Research Group, in collaboration with ITU Architectural Design Computing Graduate Program and Napier University (Edinburgh) with support of British Council- Connect4Innovation: UK-Turkey Higher Education Institutional Partnerships Fund.

The symposium will focus on the future of the built environment that is going through accelerated transformation via circular economy, as well as digital technologies, which are critical for introducing methods and tools to establish new systems for circularity.

Academicians and building industry representatives will participate as invited speakers to the symposium, by focusing on Circularity Research and Applications in AEC Industry, and University-Industry Collaboration in Circularity.

Participation in the symposium is open to everyone. Pre-registration is required. Please follow the link to register: https://forms.gle/v1Bpk3iNEsFYp5DD6
