Funded by the European Union and the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, the project functions as a full-scale pilot and research infrastructure in which planning, construction, and scientific evaluation are conducted simultaneously.\r\n\r\nThe contribution highlights the role of accompanying construction research as a methodological bridge between theory and implementation. In close collaboration between the Technical University of Ostwestfalen-Lippe, Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, the waste management company EMiL, and the architectural office kleyer.koblitz.letzel.freivogel, the SRF becomes a real-world laboratory for testing circular materials, reversible construction methods, and digital documentation tools such as the building resource passport. Comparative analyses of assessment systems—including Urban Mining Index, Madaster, and Concular’s Circular Platform—demonstrate how different evaluation logics influence design decisions and reveal measurable circular effects.\r\n\r\nThe article argues that the greatest circular impact lies not in isolated technical details but in early structural and typological decisions, systematic documentation, and regulatory adaptation. By embedding research directly into the construction process, the Smart Recycling Factory illustrates how interdisciplinary cooperation, educational integration, and policy awareness can transform circular building from a theoretical ideal into an applicable architectural practice.","lang":"eng"},{"text":"Zirkularität ist in den Lehrplänen angekommen, auf der Baustelle aber oft noch die Ausnahme.

Particular emphasis is placed on the relationship between climatic conditions, local building traditions, and contemporary circular design strategies.

New architectural elements are introduced as clearly legible additions, creating a dialogue between past and present rather than imitation.

Material choices and construction methods are guided by durability, adaptability, and low environmental impact, positioning the project within a broader discourse on sustainable heritage reuse.\r\nForte das Velas ultimately demonstrates how historical military architecture can be reimagined as an inclusive and future-oriented public infrastructure, merging cultural continuity with contemporary spatial needs.","lang":"eng"}],"extern":"1","publication_status":"published","place":"Detmolder Schule für Gestaltung","publisher":"Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe","author":[{"full_name":"Konschake, Leon","first_name":"Leon","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0009-0000-5181-1573","last_name":"Konschake","id":"84541"}],"citation":{"mla":"Konschake, Leon. <i>Forte Das Velas - Revitalisierung Einer Ruine Des 17.

The project proposes a mixed-use transformation that reinterprets the building as a “city within the city,” inspired by Le Corbusier’s Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. The existing structure is strategically reduced to its essential load-bearing concrete frame and floor slabs, preserving the structural skeleton while enabling radical spatial reconfiguration.\r\nPrefabricated timber modules are inserted and cantilevered between the reinforced-concrete columns, extending the usable floor area and introducing a warm, contemporary material contrast to the original façade. This intervention not only increases density and flexibility but also redefines the tower’s appearance, giving it a cosmopolitan and forward-looking architectural identity. The ground floor is conceived as an open and publicly accessible urban platform, activating the surrounding plaza and strengthening social interaction. Upper floors are redesigned as affordable and attractive living spaces for young residents, encouraging a diverse and vibrant community within the building.\r\nA newly designed park-like rooftop landscape provides recreational space and panoramic views over the city, enhancing environmental quality and urban connectivity. By combining structural preservation, modular timber construction, public programming, and residential reuse, the proposal demonstrates how high-rise retrofitting can generate social, ecological, and economic value simultaneously.
