The Chair in Circular Architecture of the Universitat Jaume I has started its activity with a webinar dedicated to the "Contribution of architecture to the circular economy", the first session in the cycle of three days that will take place during the last quarter of the year. The director of the Chair, vice-director of the Bachelor's Degree in Technical Architecture and president of the Professional Association of Architects of Castelló, Àngel Pitarch, said during the presentation that "we are at a time of great changes and great opportunities".

In the first intervention, Paloma Durán Lalaguna, professor of Philosophy of Law and former director of the United Nations Fund for Sustainable Development Goals, gave a presentation on the proposals for sustainability in order to comply with the 2030 Agenda and indicated that "when companies are sustainable by attending to the three pillars of sustainability (environmental, economic and social), they manage to make a profit, do well and do good".

Vera Valero Escribano, architect and expert in sustainable economy in construction at the Valencian Institute of Building, focused her speech on circular strategies in the construction sector, explaining that "for a circular architecture, all construction solutions must be reversible and dismountable, to allow the reuse of materials".

Finally, Felipe Pich Aguilera, PhD in Architecture and expert in building sustainability, indicated that "circular economy is a disruptive systemic change", and for this reason "we have to start doing things differently to achieve different results".

In May, the Regional Ministry of Housing and Bioclimatic Architecture and the UJI signed a collaboration agreement between the two institutions for creating the Chair in Circular Architecture in order to promote applied innovation and knowledge transfer for the development of public policies to promote the transition to a circular model in architecture and construction.
