Bioclimatic and Regenerative Design Guidelines for a Circular University Campus in India [PDF]

, 2021
To transform the negative impacts of buildings on the environment into a positive footprint, a radical shift from the current, linear ‘make-use-dispose’ practice to a closed-loop ‘make-use-return’ system, associated with a circular economy, is necessary.
