Abstract

The integration of Industry 6.0 technologies with Circular Economy (CE) principles is transforming spatial design, fostering sustainability and optimizing material lifecycles. The traditional linear “take-make-dispose” model in construction is unsustainable, necessitating a shift toward smart, self-organizing systems enabled by IoT, AI, blockchain, and big data. This study explores how these technologies enhance resource efficiency, facilitate material reuse, and minimize waste. Case studies of The Edge and Pavilion Circl in Amsterdam highlight strategies like real-time resource monitoring, predictive maintenance, and Design for Circularity (DfC). While challenges include high costs and workforce reskilling, phased implementation and policy incentives can drive adoption. This research underscores the need for architects, engineers, and policymakers to embrace Industry 6.0 and CE to create adaptive, resilient, and sustainable built environments.
