BRUG is a Living Lab from the VLAIO call for Living Labs Circular Construction Economy 2022. A Living Lab is a living laboratory where innovative ideas are tested in practice, with a focus on scaling up and sustainable impact. Prototyping and co-creation are used to achieve sustainable and systemic changes.
In this Living Lab, BRUG focuses on deepening and accelerating knowledge building and exchange around circular construction. By connecting actors and sharing knowledge, BRUG aims to reduce the environmental impact of construction more quickly and efficiently.
The VLAIO Living Lab BRUG runs from early 2023 to the end of 2025. It is an initiative of TEKEN architectuur, Labland, VUB, Democo, Buildwise, Muntuit, and Catapult.
In 2023, Catapult became a proud partner of BRUG. We designed a brand identity and, in collaboration with the other partners, developed an online forum and database that the various BRUG figures can use. However, the website remains subject to the lessons BRUG learns together with people in the construction sector and may be adjusted throughout the duration of this Living Lab (2023–2025).
“Due to increasing data traffic, the internet has become a major and rapidly growing energy consumer. Thanks to specific techniques, Catapult drastically reduced the average carbon footprint of this website.”
In the design and development of the website, special attention has been given to accessibility and readability. It is possible to switch between a dark and light mode, and the colors of the website can be adjusted to improve readability for colorblind users.
