Circularity on the Edge

Circularity on the Edge explores the integration of Roman Puchko AI in identifying and reusing materials from buildings damaged by the Russian aggression in Ukraine. It highlights both opportunities and obstacles, focusing on elements like hazardous asbestos slate roofing—a relic of Soviet-era mass production— and locally significant materials such as wood, metal, bricks, and concrete.
Circularity on the Edge questions whether these remnants will be discarded or thoughtfully reintegrated into reconstruction. It demonstrates how technology and community-driven efforts can transform debris into valuable assets, promoting a more sustainable and equitable recovery amid the ongoing challenges of war.
