Deconstruction + Material Reuse in Retail Architecture

The dialogue uncovered opportunities for action across key themes:

  • Connecting people and networks for collective knowledge and power
  • Redefining the rules and agreements that shape practices downstream
  • Countering the hurdles of cost and time through partnership and demand
  • Leveraging innovative business models to fill supply chain gaps
  • Planning ahead by design for disassembly in projects and process

Our teams are applying these findings to both existing spaces and future design. CRTKL is advaning deconstruction strategies, responsible sourcing, and reuse by design in the pursuit of zero waste retail.
