Urbanisms of Reuse: Mapping Material Flows

Framing circularity through material practices already embedded in urban life, the session examines informal, distributed cycles of reuse, repair, dismantling, and redistribution.

Material flows are read as embodied processes organised through routes, workspaces, and social arrangements. Through self-organising markets and speculative cartographies of scrap collection, it reveals alternative urbanisms of matter in motion, positioning architecture as observation and engagement.
