Contributor Engels, J.F. (mentor) Van den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (mentor) Groenewold, S. (mentor) Van Dijk, S.

Opposed to the current prevailing context of a linear building process, design and construction methods are studied through a technical research and a research by design in order to understand the framework and set the related strategies of a Closed Material Cycles architectural approach. A Closed Material Cycles design approach - where materials remain in productive use after their service lifespan as technical and/or biological nutrients- is the researched technical topic, which gives specific directions and outputs for the conduction of a hotel building design proposal in Scheveningen harbour in the city of Den Haag.
