The project is being implemented collaboratively by the Gelsenkirchen Urban Renewal Agency (SEG), the City of Gelsenkirchen, and planners from DMU and EPEA. The goal is to keep materials in the usage cycle for as long as possible and to reduce resource consumption in the construction industry.
Call to planners, developers, and project managers
We are currently looking for a new application for the brick facade. The bricks have been tested by a renowned manufacturer and assessed as being of suitable quality for further use.
Interested parties from the fields of architecture, planning, project development, or construction can find out more about the available quantities, the condition of the components, and the framework conditions for dismantling and acquisition.
Circular economy starts with existing buildings
The project demonstrates the potential inherent in existing building stock. Components that often become waste during conventional demolition processes can be preserved and reused through targeted planning and collaboration.
EPEA supports such projects with expertise in the circular economy and urban mining. The goal is to make material values visible and to keep existing resources available for future construction projects.
Are you interested in acquiring the facade or would you like to learn more about the project?
