Summer School on Circularity in the Built Environment 2026

Over the course of the first three days, participants will have the opportunity to meet several key actors in the regenerative value chain in the NL and work together with experienced tutors to design a small building at the Hortus Botanicus. During the following five days, we will construct 1:1 scale prototypes of the building’s detailing using the facilities and experts of our own construction ecosystem here in Delft: namely at the Botanical Garden and The Green Village.

Students from all levels of education (BSc, MSc) as well as PhD researchers and professionals are invited to participate. Participants are given the opportunity to select between two options for the duration of their stay: it is possible to sign up for the lectures and the design workshops only (26-28 June) or for the entire program of the summer school activities including prototyping and site visits (26 June-03 July).
