industrialization, construction, circular economy, carbon footprintAbstract
In recent years, the construction sector has undergone a substantial change in traditional models encouraged by the new social, environmental and economic challenges that society has to face but, however, force us to adapt to the resources available in each place, returning to “rationality”. This change implies the need for reflection on how to adapt to this new context that we face.
In the specific case of the Canary Islands, the fact that trade routes have been modified entails a rethinking of the models, towards a model where the reduction of the carbon footprint, use of waste and available technology are the frame of reference. of a local context and marked by the requirement that the production economy in a closed life cycle be the one that is postulated as the new bases of development in the construction of this 21st century.
