The exhibition Adaptive Architecture – Building Upon The Existing explores strategies for building within a circular economy to mitigate the construction industry’s significant carbon footprint. The exhibition demonstrates how to reactivate, expand, and reuse buildings through international and local examples, while mirroring these sustainable principles in its own design through the use of repurposed materials and waste-minimized graphics.
