Tour Summary:

Circl is a pavilion created by ABN AMRO in Amsterdam’s Zuidas district, which has been designed and constructed according to sustainable and circular principles. The 3,300-square-meter pavilion has been created to be energy efficient and easy to disassemble, to make as little impact as possible on the planet. Many of the things used to build Circl have already had a previous life. Other raw materials – from the wood used in its construction to the aluminum on its outer walls – can be put to new uses in the future. What’s more, Circl is a living lab – more than 150.000 professionals, students and neighborhood residents have already visited Circl with thousands participating in circular economy trainings, knowledge sharing and community events.

Circl is a building that became a movement: we join forces to accelerate the shift to sustainability. Circle was recognized in 2021 a ULI Global Awards for Excellence Winner.
