Interactive architecture can be used for circular design in several ways:
1. Material selection: Interactive architecture can be designed using materials that are environmentally friendly, non-toxic, reusable, and recyclable. Selecting materials that are biodegradable or compostable can also contribute to the circular design.
2. Energy efficiency: The design of interactive architecture can be focused on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Using renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines or geothermal systems can minimize the use of non-renewable energy and contribute to circular design.
3. Water management: Interactive architecture can make use of efficient water management system for capturing and reusing greywater or rainwater. This will not only reduce the water consumption but also contribute to absorbing excess water from the environment.
4. Facilitating sharing and community: A circular design approach calls for sharing of resources to a larger extent. Interactive architecture can provide spaces and opportunities for sharing facilities and resources among the community.
5. Promoting adaptive reuse: Interactive architecture is flexible in nature and can be redesigned, repurposed, and reused. This approach promotes adaptive reuse and makes it easier to integrate circular design principles throughout the lifecycle of the project.
Overall, interactive architecture has the potential to create dynamic, sustainable, and intelligent spaces that are adaptable to changing needs, promote resource sharing, and facilitate circular design.
