Educators as Learners: Establishing 'Spaces of Growth'

For the past years, the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment of TU Delft and in particular, the Circular Built Environment (CBE) Hub, have been systematically involved in research related to how the concept of circularity affects and is affected by the built environment. But how can the input of this research be organically integrated into the faculty’s education in order to inspire students and educators towards adopting circular principles? Two major challenges emerged: the first was relating the research findings in one consistent narrative and translating the research input into communicable knowledge. The second, was developing novel pathways for teaching circularity and most importantly, building the capacity of the school’s educators to support students in their learning.
