he project addresses the application of circular design in the creation of RMK structures. At the S-scale, existing structures, material flows, and construction practices are mapped, and a catalogue of small architectural forms is compiled, including typologies, details, and 3D models. At the M-scale, a state-of-the-art study is conducted on donor buildings and circular construction solutions, and conceptual design proposals are developed for the systematic design of forest houses. The outcomes include guidance materials, reports, and a catalogue of design sketches.
