Prof. De Wolf interviewed by the BBC
Prof. Catherine De Wolf was interviewed by the BBC about her research on digital technologies towards circular construction. She explains why it is important to shift from a linear take-make-waste model to a circular model in the construction industry and how we can reuse materials more efficiently, using digital innovation.
You can watch the interview on BBC Click and on the BBC World News Network. CEA lab's PhD student Brandon Byers also shows how to engrave reclaimed timber beams with QR codes to give the materials an identity and link them to material passports of the building that summer course students build with reused materials from a building set for demolition they entirely disassembled in the hands-on course "Digital Transformation for Circular Construction" taught by Prof. De Wolf. The interview will air several times on BBC World News and will be available online afterwards on BBC Click.
