Future-proofbuilding

Future-proof building means building with attention to climate, health and circularity: the right material in the right place. New Economy brings together knowledge, experience and network in the Future-Proof Building platform, where contractors, architects, self-builders, producers, suppliers and policymakers come together to show what is already possible today.

What is future-proof building?

Building with attention to climate, health and circularity. There is no single universal material that buildings should be made of; the best material depends on the application.

Metal, concrete, wood and flax are each suited to specific applications. Examples that show what is already possible today are essential to this. From that idea, the Future-Proof Building platform emerged, bringing together knowledge, experience and network.

Build the network together

The growing network connects contractors, self-builders, architects, policy officers, producers, suppliers and wholesalers.

Upcycling parties, circular chain developers, biobased material producers, project developers, planners and processors are also part of the future-proof building network.

In practice

New Economy works on numerous projects that make future-proof building concrete.

What is the goal of Future-Proof Building?

The platform brings together knowledge, experience and network to accelerate future-proof building: the right material in the right place, for healthy and circular buildings.

Who is Future-Proof Building for?

For everyone in the construction chain: from contractors, architects and self-builders to producers, suppliers and policy officers who want to contribute to future-proof building.

What is future-proof building?

Building with attention to climate, health and circularity, where the best material for the specific application is chosen instead of one universal material.

Practical questions

Frequently asked questions about this project

What does New Economy do in this project?

According to this project, New Economy brings together knowledge, experience and network in the Future-Proof Building platform, where the construction sector shows what is already possible today.

Which values are central to future-proof building?

According to this project, it is about climate, health and circularity: the right material in the right place.

Why is there no single ideal building material?

According to this project, the best material depends on the application; metal, concrete, wood and flax are each suited to specific uses.

Who is involved in the network?

According to this project, the network connects contractors, (self-)builders, architects, policy officers, producers, suppliers and wholesalers, plus upcyclers, circular chain developers, producers of biobased materials, developers, planners and processors.

Why are practical examples so important?

According to this project, concrete examples show what is already possible today, which helps to accelerate future-proof building.

What role does biobased building play?

According to this project, biobased materials are part of the solutions and producers of biobased materials are part of the network.

How can you take part in the platform?

According to this project, you can join the growing network around future-proof building via the platform.

How does this fit within regenerative and circular building?

According to this project, future-proof building aligns with regenerative and circular building: building with an eye for climate, health and value retention.
