During the past semester, international students from RWTH Aachen University worked on future visions for a sustainable Southern Dutch Limburg at the ‚New Regional Bauhaus‘ in Heerlen, based on principles of circularity. The students, enrolled in the master’s program ‚Transforming City Regions,‘ focus on creating regional plans. The future visions for this region will be showcased at the Heerlen ‘dependance’ of RWTH Aachen University throughout the month of February.

Jan Jongert is a Dutch pioneer in Circular Building. He is visiting professor at TU Delft and founder of Superuse Studios – an international architecture collective for circular and sustainable design. At Superuse Studios, a design is not considered as the beginning of a linear, but part of a circular process: A phase in a continuous cycle of creation and recreation, use and reuse. In his presentation, Jan Jongert will present different strategies for building sustainable architecture with reclaimed materials.
