Abstract

The concept of the circular economy is gaining popularity due to the growing awareness of sustainability. However, Japan seems to have lower awareness of this concept compared to other countries. The aim of this study is to clarify the current status of the implementation of circular design in Japanese architectural design. The case studies utilizing the 'Circular Design Toolkit' framework and interviews with architectural designers who practice the circular economy is conducted for it.
