Design-Build Action toward Participatory Architecture
People can involve themselves directly in the design and construction process. We can recover the sense of citizen-ownership of architectue by promoting flexible self-build construction systems.
Architecture made using these systems can also produce a sense of collective ownership of and responsibility for buildings. By creating opportunities for input from members of the community, we can move toward a new archiecture of empathy.
We can and should make use of the latest technological developments to aid in the production of empathic architecture. In particular, by making use of precise digital design and computerized fabrication tools, we can create flexibe intuitive systems that allow people with limited skills and experience to engage in the design process. In this way, we can realize concrete architecture from subjective feelings.

Walter Stahel
The Circular Economy
A Performance-Based Model of Development
Swiss environmental economist Walter Stahel is the originator of the concept of "the economy of loops" (1976), later popularized as the "circular economy".
His contribution -- to replace the linear production model with the notion of circular material flows -- is at the heart of the "cradle-to-cradle" approach to design that informs contemporary discussion of recycling and sustainability.
