Economy and Community as Bottom-Up Drivers for Design: cooreating coordinating dashboards for architectural design

In our paper, we show that, from an economic and environmental point of view, neighbourhoods could benefit from a circular architectural design approach, as creating an actual circular economy and community asks for more organisation than purely spatial planning. By using design as a driver both for a self-sustained economy and for architectural design, we provide a pathway for architects to be involved beyond their singular architectural design outputs We believe that our paper is significant in developing alternative, bottom-up mechanisms for developing and managing architectural designs and its afterlife. The dashboard and digital infrastructure developed through the paper can also be used by other researchers to expand the cases where our method can be applied.
