Shaping a circular industrial ecosystem and supporting life cycle thinking

The Lycée Michel Lucius in Luxembourg lacks a central communal space. The project transforms an old modular structure into a library, carefully dismantles a 1970s wing for material reuse, and renovates the schoolyard with reclaimed materials. Its approach optimises the use of resources, minimises waste and helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The project sets an example for similar projects by emphasising minimal environmental impact, circular economy principles and improved student life.

CambiaMenti, unique event dedicated to information, discussion and experimentation, aims to provide citizens with concrete solutions to address the challenges related to climate change. The interior of DUMBO's White Space will be divided into thematic areas where visitors will be able to get free 360° information on Circular Economy and sustainability issues and how they are being declined by local realities, participating in panel discussions, installations and workshops dedicated to all ages.

Sustainable and inclusive city transformation has to tackle every aspect of the urban environment. Waste containers and waste generation are an inherent part of every community, and correct sorting of waste alongside with accountability for responsible practices and reduction targets, are pivotal to enable the transition towards circularity and sustainability. This is what “The Invisible Visible – Waste is About Knowledge, Trust and Beauty” is set to achieve.
