Purpose:

This conference is proposed to bring together the most innovative practices in education and research for current and future reuse and recycling of material resources in the built environment. Its location in Washington, DC affords the opportunity for interactions and exposure for designers, educators, researchers, and students to national and international governmental and non-governmental organizations concerned with material resource environmental impacts and waste. It also provides ease of access from major centers in the Eastern US via air and rail, and internationally.

The Center for Building Stewardship at The Catholic University of America School of Architecture and Planning welcomes abstracts for presented papers and designs from designers, educators, researchers and university students who are engaged in knowledge creation and dissemination for the responsible extended life and end-of-life management of built environment material resources including: land, buildings, components and materials. A two-stage blind review process will be used for abstract submittals and for full paper submittals. A proceeding will be produced from accepted papers and presentations.
