Assistant Professor

About Me

Marc van den Berg develops circular urban mining futures. His research line uncovers innovative (de)construction practices that enable reuse, now and in the future. He thereby rethinks the existing built environment as an urban mine where waste becomes a resource. His research explores the profound implications for managing such resource flows; from the information needs of demolition contractors to the challenges that designers face in applying circularity. Marc likes collaborating with a wide range of parties along the reverse value chain to develop actionable circularity transition pathways for tomorrow.
