The construction sector has a significant share of Green House Gas emission and raw material consumption globally. Among common construction materials, timber has a long tradition of numerous applications as a renewable material. The implementation of the concept of circularity in the process of the construction of timber buildings has a high potential sustainability impact. The concept of design for adaption is to extend the service life of timber building to the maximum in several life cycles. In this paper the demand regarding circularity is analysed from interviews with different stakeholders and their economic, social and environmental incentive. The possibility to assess the sustainability impact of design for adaption are evaluated. Different examples of existing practices and potential solutions for design for deconstruction and adaption are summarized.

建筑业在全球温室气体排放和原材料消耗中占有很大份额。在常见的建筑材料中，木材作为可再生材料具有众多应用的悠久传统。在木结构建筑的建造过程中实施循环概念具有很高的潜在可持续性影响。适应性设计的理念是在几个生命周期内最大限度地延长木结构建筑的使用寿命。本文通过对不同利益相关者的访谈及其经济、社会和环境激励来分析对循环性的需求。评估评估适应性设计的可持续性影响的可能性。
