建筑环境给自然环境带来了巨大的压力;因此,它在向循环经济(CE)过渡中的作用至关重要。然而,目前的CE研究往往集中在宏观尺度上,如seco-parks,或微观尺度上,如制成品,与风险,忽视了额外的影响和潜力,在中观尺度的个别建筑。本文旨在解开CE的基本定义维度,并将其框架用于建筑环境的CE研究。一个关键的文献综述形成的基础上,确定和制定这些基本方面。我们的贡献突出了跨学科研究的关键作用,以及自下而上和自上而下的举措,以促进过渡到“循环建筑”。该参考框架已被用于捕捉当前关于人造环境可持续性的讨论,并已证明是一个宝贵的工具,可用于对现有举措进行归类,并突出跨学科努力中缺失的环节。这篇文章是对建筑环境中CE研究的理论基础的贡献,也是塑造未来研究计划的垫脚石。皇冠版权所有(C)2016由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
The built environment puts major pressure on the natural environment; its role in transitioning to a circular economy (CE) is therefore fundamental. However, current CE research tends to focus either on the macro-scale, such a seco-parks, or the micro-scale, such as manufactured products, with the risk of ignoring the additional impacts and potentials at the meso-scale of individual buildings. This article sets out to unpack the fundamental defining dimensions of a CE and frame them for CE studies for the built environment. A critical literature review forms the basis for identifying and framing such fundamental dimensions. Our contribution highlights the key roles of interdisciplinary research and of both bottom up and top-down initiatives in facilitating the transition to 'circular buildings'. The frame for reference has been used to capture current discourse on the sustainability of the built environment and has proved to be a valuable tool to cluster existing initiatives and highlight missing links for interdisciplinary endeavours. The article represents a contribution to the theoretical foundations of CE research in the built environment and a stepping stone to shape future research initiatives.
